Black Mamba launched $100 million of the capital fund with entrepreneur, Jeff Stibel. This funding was reserved for data start-ups, media, and technology.The venture capital fund was a legit move for Bryant into the financial world.“The partnership was not about having Bryant act as a famous frontman or endorser for companies that are funded,” says Jeff Stibel in an interview.
