Saverin

Saverin is a surname. The name is most widely associated with Eduardo Saverin, a Brazilian-born entrepreneur and investor who co-founded Facebook.

Eduardo Luiz Saverin was born on March 19, 1982, in São Paulo, Brazil. He studied economics at Harvard College, where he befriended Mark Zuckerberg and helped launch Facebook in 2004. Saverin served as an early investor and one of the company’s co-founders during its formative years.

After Facebook’s rapid rise, Saverin held a significant equity stake and contributed to the company’s early growth. He relocated to Asia and has been based in Singapore, where he has pursued venture investing. In 2015 he co-founded B Capital Group, a venture capital firm focused on technology investments, together with Raj Ganguly.

In 2011, reports indicated that Saverin renounced his United States citizenship, a move widely discussed in connection with tax considerations tied to Facebook’s wealth. He remains a prominent figure in technology investment and is described as a billionaire investor with activities spanning the Americas and Asia.

Beyond Eduardo Saverin, the surname Saverin is less commonly prominent in public life, but Eduardo Saverin stands as the most notable modern bearer of the name due to his role in Facebook and his subsequent investment activities.
