Next Play Ventures

When we invest, it’s about more than the capital. We want to help develop the next generation of leaders, and in turn, help them realize their vision. It’s not just about your vision, though; it’s also about your values; that doing well and doing good are not mutually exclusive; and that managing compassionately builds stronger teams and companies. After completing 11 years as CEO of LinkedIn and stepping into the role of executive chairman, Jeff Weiner founded Next Play Ventures to focus more on investing, coaching, and philanthropy. He's joined by managing director Brian Rumao, his partner and former chief of staff for the last twelve years. We invest our time and resources in organizations committed to expanding the world’s collective wisdom and compassion. Our core belief is that people with equal talent deserve equal access to opportunity. We strive to close the network gap and create opportunities for underserved communities.
