Scrum Ventures

Founded by Tak Miyata, a seasoned entrepreneur from Japan with startup and executive experience in Silicon Valley, Scrum Ventures is a diverse team with headquarters in San Francisco and Tokyo along with satellite offices in Minneapolis, Seattle, New York, and Illinois. While Japan is in our DNA, we are a global team with a wealth of international experiences, perspectives, and relationships.

We take a thematic approach to investing, identifying emerging trends, researching the landscape in detail, and discovering industry-changing startups. In addition to investing capital, we support our portfolio founders throughout their journey by providing direct assistance with hiring, strategic advice, fundraising, and more. Our partners understand the challenges of entrepreneurship and are fully committed to portfolio success.
