SINGAPORE (Reuters) - Facebook Inc co-founder Eduardo Saverin's venture capital firm, B Capital Group, said it has raised $360 million for its fund as it seeks to invest in technology start-ups.

The firm has offices in Los Angeles, San Francisco, New York and Singapore. It has invested in more than 10 companies, including Southeast Asian last-mile logistics provider Ninja Van and India's Mswipe Technologies, a point-of-sale network provider.
