Actor and director Olivia Wilde launches a VC firm
Actor and director Olivia Wilde, famous for her roles in “Tron: Legacy” and “Don’t Worry Darling,” quietly launched venture firm Proximity Ventures late last year, according to Bloomberg.
She launched the early- and growth-stage investment fund with Neil Sirni, formerly of Roc Nation’s venture division Arrive; Jason Mack, formerly of Mack Ventures; and Santi White, the musician also known as Santigold.
The firm plans to invest in companies that are in the consumer and enterprise sectors. The firm has already inked four investments, including biotech company Pendulum Therapeutics.
