Time Ventures

Marc Benioff is the central decision-maker. Time Ventures is his personal venture capital vehicle, and he is reported to take an active role in investment decisions. The firm does not publicly disclose an investment committee or other named partners, operating instead through a small team that manages deal flow on his behalf.

Deal flow is heavily driven by Benioff's personal network as the CEO of Salesforce and a prominent Silicon Valley figure. The firm typically co-invests alongside established venture capital firms, which provides both sourced opportunities and external due-diligence validation. Founders in the Salesforce ecosystem also represent a network-based sourcing channel.

No. Time Ventures is a personal investment vehicle for Marc Benioff and is structurally separate from Salesforce Ventures, the company's formal corporate venture arm. This independence allows Time Ventures to invest without the strategic signaling or balance-sheet constraints that can accompany a corporate venture capital unit, even though the portfolio often aligns with enterprise software and cloud infrastructure themes.

Time Ventures primarily targets early-stage rounds, including Seed and Series A. The firm will occasionally participate in later-stage funding rounds for existing portfolio companies. Its check sizes are not publicly standardized, and deployment reflects the flexibility of a personal balance-sheet vehicle rather than a fixed fund structure.

While Time Ventures is a for-profit investment vehicle, its capital allocation overlaps with Benioff's philanthropic focus areas — particularly climate and ocean health. These commitments are made alongside the Benioff family's significant grant-making and giving-pledge activity, though the venture investments pursue financial returns rather than a program-related or concessionary investment mandate.

No. Time Ventures deploys Marc Benioff's personal capital exclusively. It does not raise funds from institutional limited partners or high-net-worth individuals, and is not structured as a multi-family office or registered investment advisor open to external allocators.

The portfolio is reported to include over 200 companies, spanning sectors from enterprise software and AI to climate technology and aerospace. The firm does not disclose total invested capital or a specific net asset value, and holdings are tracked through regulatory filings and public announcements rather than a centralized directory.
