Omidyar Network
Omidyar Network is a mission-based investment group committed to fostering individual self-empowerment on a global scale. Established in June 2004 by Pierre Omidyar, founder of eBay, and Pam Omidyar, the Network is founded on the simple core belief that every individual has the power to make a difference.
Omidyar Network funds for-profits and nonprofits that promote equal access to information, tools and opportunities, openness and transparency, collaboration around shared interests, and a sense of ownership for participants. To date, Omidyar Network has created a diverse portfolio that fosters individual self-empowerment across the economic, political and social realms, with investments in areas such as microfinance, open source, citizen journalism and collaboration in the sciences. Through its work, Omidyar Network intends to catalyze a new breed of business for which social impact directly drives profitability.
