Overview
Toyota Ventures, founded in 2017 as Toyota AI Ventures and renamed in 2021, invests early-stage out of dedicated frontier and climate funds — AI, robotics, autonomy, mobility, energy and materials — with more than $500 million under management. It runs with independent decision-making, which keeps its process closer to a financial seed fund than a classic strategic committee.
