Woven Capital
Woven Capital is an $800 million dedicated fund that exists to create a global portfolio of partners and technologies that advance the vision and mission of Toyota Motor Corporation. We do this by investing in growth-stage companies that have the potential to partner with us—whether that's by helping us to create the most programmable vehicle in the world, or by helping us to build the most sustainable cities of the future. We make strategic investments in areas as diverse as the future of mobility, connected cities, industry 4.0, next-generation vehicles, automation, artificial intelligence, and electrification. We also make fund-of-fund investments in early-stage venture funds that accelerate our strategic deal flow and expand our global coverage. As investors, we focus on creating long-term value for our customers, partners and society-at-large. And we do that by aligning with our portfolio companies and the portfolio companies of our fund-of-fund investments and collaborating with them in any way we can.
