San Francisco-based Baseline Ventures has launched a new fund ten years after its predecessor.

The vehicle will be managed by Baseline founder Steve Anderson, who has previously worked for Starbucks, Digital Equipment Corporation, eBay, Kleiner Perkins Caufield and Byers and Microsoft.
The firm was founded in 2006, and since then claims to have made more than 100 investments, created 4,000 jobs and created $1.5bn for founders and employees. It has a focus on technology startups and has previously invested in a range of FinTechs.
Some of the companies in its portfolio include online lending and wealth management platform SoFi, personal finance app Digit, online payments platform trialpay, and online investment platform Cake Financial.
