Scrum Ventures distinguishes itself with a thematic investment approach by identifying emerging trends, meticulously researching sectors, and partnering with startups that are poised to disrupt industries.

With $19 million in assets under management, they boast a portfolio that not only taps into the vibrant ecosystem of Silicon Valley but also provides startups with invaluable insights and access to the Japanese market.
