About EE Capital: The Saverin family office

EE Capital is the family office of Eduardo Saverin and his wife Elaine Saverin. Eduardo Saverin co-founded Facebook in 2004 together with Mark Zuckerberg and fellow Harvard students, and his stake in the company, today Meta Platforms, remains the foundation of the family’s wealth. Saverin has been based in Singapore since 2009 and is one of the world’s wealthiest tech entrepreneurs. Beyond the family office, he co-founded the global venture capital firm B Capital in 2015, where he serves as Co-CEO. Saverin has a long track record of personal startup investments, including the Mumbai-based online retailer Hopscotch, which he backed with 13 million US dollars in 2016 as one of his early direct investments in India. The Liverpool transaction marks a rare move by the family office into professional sports.
