Toyota AI Ventures is rebranding (Toyota-ai.ventures & Toyotaaiventures.com) to Toyota.Ventures (cover: ToyotaVentures.com)
... In 2017, we started Toyota’s first standalone venture capital firm with a vision and a passion for change — embarking on a mission to discover what’s next for Toyota.
Today, we begin the next leg of that journey with a new name, an expanded investment thesis, and two new $150M funds that bring our total assets under management to over $500M. While our mission and approach remain the same, Toyota AI Ventures will now be known as Toyota Ventures.
.... Although our name is changing, our investment approach is not. Startups are our customers. Our corporate parent, Toyota, is our partner. These two stakeholders play different roles and have different needs. So, for our startup customer, we’ll be doubling down on the principles that have served them (and us) well.
