You’ve probably heard that Warren Buffett is called “The Oracle of Omaha.” But do you know about the Soothsayer of Silicon Valley?
His name is Jim Coulter, and he co-founded TPG in 1992. TPG now has more than $103 billion of assets under management, and their investments include Uber, Airbnb and scores of successful, high-growth ventures.
He is also someone with a passion for New Orleans. Jim has done far more than invest in New Orleans’s startups, though. He invested in our city itself.
