About new SBVA

2024-01-31

Established in 2000 as an early-stage venture capital arm of SoftBank Group, SBVA has a storied history of empowering extraordinary entrepreneurs across the globe. In 2023, we joined forces with The Edgeof, a global startup ecosystem builder founded by Taizo Son, JP Lee, and Atsushi Taira, and began our new chapter as an independent entity with a renewed commitment to fostering innovation and technological advancement.


Our mission is to be the catalyst that propels visionaries to create a better future, enabling them to not only disrupt industries but also contribute positively to the overall society. Join us as we embark on this exhilarating journey to shape a brighter, more sustainable world through the power of technology.


※SBVA no longer stands for SoftBank Ventures Asia. Our new name embodies both our history and our focus on the transformative impact of artificial intelligence and technological singularities
