SOSV
SOSV is a global venture capital firm that operates early stage startup development programs. SOSV’s programs are focused on two broad areas. The first is revolutionary technology that promises the betterment of humanity and the planet. The second is cross-border markets, notably in Asia, that are ripe for explosive growth. The firm’s strategy is to invest in a small number of highly promising startups and use its deeply resourced programs to accelerate product development, acquire customers, and scale. SOSV companies consistently achieve funding led by top tier investors. SOSV joins seed, series A and later rounds while providing founders with ongoing support and community. The five programs work with 135 new companies each year. As of April 2021, SOSV had more than 1,000 portfolio companies and $970 million in assets under management.
