The Goldman Sachs Banker Who Brought Twitter Public Just Left For A Tech Hedge Fund

Re/Code's Kara Swisher reports Anthony Noto, the Goldman Sachs managing director who led Twitter's IPO, is leaving the investment firm to join the hedge fund responsible for Snapchat, Box.net and Lyft.

Noto has been with Goldman for more than a decade, with a two-year carveout serving as CFO of the NFL. He was once ranked Wall Street's No. 1 Internet analyst.

At hedge fund Coatue, which also has investments in FlipBoard and Hoteltonight, he will serve as senior managing director.

Coatue launched a $300 million in early 2013 for high-growth, pre-IPO startups. BI's Alyson Shontell profiled Coatue this winter after the Silicon Valley fund invested $50 million in Snapchat.
