Chuck Feeney’s tenacity and long-term thinking set the course for the firm long before he established General Atlantic. He was an entrepreneur first, founding the Duty Free Shopper business and growing it into a global phenomenon. As Chuck’s business gained momentum, so did his interest in investing in new ideas, people, and philanthropic endeavors. This was the beginning of what would become one of the world’s most remarkable stories in business and philanthropy.In the spring of 1980, Chuck established a direct investment entity. The founding team at General Atlantic would help entrepreneurs build great companies as a means of magnifying Chuck’s ability to contribute to the societal causes that propel global progress. The success would fuel the impact of Atlantic Philanthropies, Chuck’s foundation that made “big bets for a better world.”
