RPS Ventures

RPS Ventures is a Palo Alto, California-based global late-stage technology venture capital fund founded in 2018 as a collaboration between Blue Pool Capital, SoftBank Group and Jerry Yang, co-founder of Yahoo!. The firm invests in exceptional teams transforming significant markets, deploying capital into companies with established traction and product-market fit. RPS takes a hands-on approach with portfolio companies, grounded in the belief that successful late-stage investing requires deep understanding of each company's industry and market dynamics. The firm is led by Managing Partner Kabir Misra, who previously spent 13 years at SoftBank, most recently as a Managing Partner at SoftBank Vision Fund where he worked with the boards of Flipkart, PayTM, Tokopedia, Coupang and Fanatics, and who currently also serves as a Director of Alibaba Group. RPS targets Series B and later rounds, writing checks in the $10M to $50M-plus range. The firm has invested in 13 companies and its portfolio has produced 3 unicorns and 3 IPOs. Headline names include Delhivery, the Indian logistics platform that listed on NSE/BSE at approximately $4.55 billion market cap, and Meesho, which listed in December 2025 at approximately $5.57 billion market cap. Additional notable holdings include ACKO, Versa Networks and Arturo. Recent investments include Luminance's Series C in February 2025 and ReliaQuest in April 2025, the most recently disclosed deal. The SoftBank and Blue Pool partnership at RPS's foundation gives the firm access to one of the most extensive global late-stage deal networks in venture capital, while Founding General Partner Samantha Wang, formerly a Partner at Crosslink Capital, contributes deep US technology market expertise to the team's cross-border deal sourcing.
