Beyond Capital
What gets us up in the morning? Building up and investing in technologies that will drive the future. We look years ahead at what we think will unfold, but also stop to ask, ”What can we build now?”
Turning a promising idea into a life-changing product relies on three pillars: scale, speed, and safety. As one of the world’s largest automakers, Toyota holds unique expertise in all three. Woven Capital connects entrepreneurs with big ideas with the resources to deliver big impact.
When we back a startup, we don’t write a check and step away. We take an active role by connecting portfolio companies to our global network and in-house experts to refine ideas, provide guidance, build prototypes and accelerate global scaleup. In fact, more than 80% of Woven Capital’s portfolio companies are actively working with Toyota Group and leveraging the expertise of the broader Toyota ecosystem.
