Omidyar Technology Ventures (OTV) is an early-stage technology investment firm created and solely funded by eBay founder Pierre Omidyar. Its official historical website describes backing founders tackling large markets and meaningful technical problems; its published portfolio includes artificial intelligence, enterprise software, cybersecurity, logistics and digital medicine, including Akili Interactive, Nervana Systems and Gamalon. Akili’s 2022 SEC filing identifies the investing legal entity as Omidyar Technology Ventures, LLC and names its statutory directors/officers. The archived public investment team includes Todor Tashev, Chris Bishko, Pearl Chan and Sid Trivedi; these affiliations are explicitly historical rather than a claim that all remain employees today. OTV is distinct from Omidyar Network and other Omidyar-affiliated entities. The official website no longer resolves as of October 7, 2026; current operating status and a complete current roster are not publicly verified, and this does not establish legal dissolution. No verified public pooled-fund close or fund corpus was found; Pierre Omidyar’s sole funding and portfolio investments are not invented LP fund commitments.
