General Atlantic

General Atlantic manages approximately $84 billion in assets, focusing on growth-stage companies with over $50 million in revenue. Founded in 1980 by Chuck Feeney, the firm invests globally across technology, financial services, healthcare, and consumer sectors in 35+ countries. Notable investments include Airbnb, Alibaba, and Palo Alto Networks. Its AUM is only 1.2% smaller than #1 Sequoia's $85 billion, yet its growth-stage specialization offers a different risk-return profile compared to early-stage giants.
