Founder & Limited Partner, Toba Capital

About

Vinny Smith founded and self-funds Toba Capital as a rare evergreen venture fund backed solely by his own capital rather than outside investors, with an initial $250M allocation that can be continually recycled into new companies. He commits to directing half of Toba Capital's profits to philanthropic causes on an ongoing basis through his Teach a Man to Fish foundation, which supports over 100 charities and is projected to exceed $100M under management.
