They are searching for entrepreneurs that don't have access to major resources, but have business potentials. The fund looks to invest in exchange for equity in the business, and 100% of the investment returns will be used to fund and finance future entrepreneurs.
The fund begins with $2.2 million in donations from the partners of Andreessen Horowitz, and is a Donor Advisory Fund managed by Tides to provide tax benefits for the donor. The fund and program aims to fill a gap between the cultural leaders who have succeeded, and those who have yet to accomplish their business goals.
The Talent x Opportunity Fund looks to figure out prototyping models, plan atraining program for pre-seed, and research founders in Silicon Valley.
