We’re on a mission.
SoftBank Group launched the Opportunity Fund in June 2020 as a commitment to founders and investors who have been marginalized and overlooked in venture capital. The fund built a community of 75 companies and invested over $100M.
In May 2023, the team launched Open Opportunity Fund 2 with a $150M target, opening access for additional LPs and organizations to join SoftBank as investors.
If you are a U.S. Black or Latinx-founded tech company seeking funding, please introduce yourself. We look forward to hearing from you.
