\"\"According to published reports, Jay Z and long-time friend\/Roc Nation partner, Jay Brown may be started a venture capital fund. <\/p>\n

Axios <\/em>reports that the two may be partnering with partnering with Sherpa Capital to start the launch. <\/p>\n

Although there has been no official word, the fund is expected to focus on seed-stage tech opportunities, with this really being the institutionalization of Jay Z and Jay Brown’s previous angel investing activities. Not a stretch as these two were in Uber’s Series B, at a $300m pre-money. Other investments have included JetSmarter, plus his most noticeable stake in TIDAL. <\/p>\n
