Rucker Park snags Tang-Wymer

Wesley Tang-Wymer, a former investor at telecommunications and internet group SoftBank, has joined Rucker Park Capital, the venture capital firm set up by another SoftBank alumnus, Marissa Campise.

Tang-Wymer joined SoftBank as an investor in 2015 after two and a half years at VC firm Point72 Ventures, and graduated to a similar position at SoftBank Investment Advisers, which manages the firm’s $97.7bn Vision Fund, in January 2017.

Rucker Park is targeting $50m for its first fund, news of its formation having emerged in June 2017. Campise was an investor for SoftBank’s now shuttered SoftBank Capital unit from 2014 and 2015 before working in a direct capacity for the corporate. She departed in mid-2016.
