Salesforce Ventures is the corporate venture arm of Salesforce, founded in 2009 and headquartered in San Francisco, CA, with additional offices in New York, London, and Tokyo. It operates as an evergreen fund with Salesforce as its sole source of capital, enabling it to invest at any stage from seed through growth without the constraints of a traditional fund cycle. The firm has deployed over $7B across more than 700 enterprise software companies globally, recording 35 IPOs and 190+ M&A exits. Core investment themes are Generative AI, Data & Infrastructure, Security, Vertical & Horizontal Apps, and New Frontiers (Energy, Space). Check sizes range from under $5M at seed to $50M+ at growth stage. Beyond capital, portfolio companies receive access to Salesforce's enterprise network, Fortune 500 customer introductions, strategic partnerships, and early product feedback. The firm invests across the U.S., Europe, Israel, Japan, Korea, India, and Australia, and does not generally invest in consumer software or hardware. Founders can reach the team via a contact form linked from the website.
