SoftBank Capital was formed to make U.S. based venture capital equity investments in early stage technology companies benefiting from the wide scale deployment of broadband and mobile technologies. We believe these technologies create an incredibly rich market opportunity for venture backed companies to take advantage of and to grow.

Our partners have over 120 years of collective experience with growth oriented technology companies. We leverage our extensive experience in operations, business development, capital markets, international expansion and technology to provide companies with a distinctive advantage. The partners of SoftBank Capital are collectively responsible for billions of dollars of gains on investments, including Yahoo!, E*Trade, UT Starcom, GeoCities, Ziff Davis and GSI Commerce.

SoftBank Capital targets investments in one of three general sectors including:

Content	Applications	Technology Based Services

We invest across all stages of a company’s lifecycle; however, most of our investments are made in companies at or near revenue with commercially available technologies.

SoftBank Capital seeks to invest in businesses led by experienced and passionate business leaders with successful track records. Many of our portfolio companies are led by executives with whom we have worked or have successfully invested in the past. Our objective is to own a significant minority interest in each of our portfolio companies with one or more board seats. SoftBank Capital actively looks to syndicate our investments with complementary world class venture capital firms that share our vision for success.
