Social Capital, formerly known as Social+Capital Partnership, is a venture capital firm based in Palo Alto, California. The firm specializes in software startups, providing seed funding, venture capital and private equity.〔 The firm has "stood out strategically", according to ''Fortune'', "with a focus on...healthcare, financial services and education...when those fields were...neglected by the VC community."〔 ==History== Social Capital was founded in 2011 by Chamath Palihapitiya, after previously working at Facebook. Mamoon Hamid and Ted Maidenberg also joined the firm that year as General Partners. In 2015, Social Capital raised $500 million in their third and largest venture capital fund. PayPal cofounder Peter Thiel praised Palihapitiya's approach, and as of 2015 served as a limited partner. Former Yahoo executive and CEO of SurveyMonkey, Dave Goldberg, said about the firm's approach: "Chamath genuinely wants to make an impact on the world."〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Social Capital (venture capital)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
