SoftBank Capital was formed to make U.S. based venture capital equity investments in 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. SoftBank Capital targets investments in one of three general sectors including: content & services, software application, and emerging technologies. 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.
