Profile
Toba Capital is an early-stage investment firm committed to helping create incredible technology companies. We look for businesses capable of long-term growth and teams with the potential to fundamentally shift markets for the common good.
Toba Capital was founded by Vinny Smith with the observation that a VC firm comprised solely of senior software executives would be uniquely positioned to identify promising companies and enable their success. Three of the partners are current CEOs, and the team has taken dozens of software businesses beyond $20m in sales, with two becoming billion-dollar-plus outcomes.
