A proven track record

Co-founded by Christine Tsai in 2010, we opened our office to founders in Mountain View, California. As we grew, we expanded our reach globally, investing in startups across various regions such as Latin America, Southeast Asia, Korea, Thailand, Japan, Istanbul, Canada, Vietnam, and the Middle East. By 2019, we had reached $1B AUM. In 2021, we rebranded to 500 Global, to reflect our broader investment strategy.
In 2022, we relocated our US headquarters to Palo Alto, California. With $2.3B AUM1, we are dedicated to driving innovation and making a meaningful impact by connecting entrepreneurs with essential resources and opportunities. Our portfolio includes companies like Talkdesk, CreditKarma, Canva, GitLab, and Intercom, among others; reinforcing our core belief that exceptional ideas can emerge from anywhere in the world​.
