#73 Marc Benioff

Marc Benioff #73 Co-founder, chair, and co-CEO, Salesforce; founder, Time Ventures Marc Benioff has been an angel investor for decades, but it takes more than a brilliant idea to get a check from him. He says he looks for founders with high integrity who place emphasis on a healthy company culture. “There have been situations in which we’ve walked away from a deal because they weren’t interested in our core values,” he said. That conviction has led Benioff to back founders such as Jack Altman of Lattice, now valued at $3 billion after raising a $175 million Series F round announced in January. Increasingly, Benioff’s focus on core values has drawn him to climate tech. He not only backs startups in the space but also invests in funds, including Chris Sacca’s Lowercarbon Capital.
