Inventum Ventures

Inventum Ventures is firm composed of an excellent team well-versed in technology & global business and has provided substantial support to SmartRyde. They offer valuable resources, especially through their global network, business expertise, and technological advice, making them an ideal partner for startups aiming for global expansion. The ability to access global networks & information, which can be challenging to approach from Japan, is another significant advantage they offer. Hence, I highly recommend them to startups considering international expansion in the future!

It’s been a pleasure working with Kevin and the team at Inventum Ventures. Kevin immediately understood the potential of our technology, and his investment team moved quickly and efficiently through due diligence and closing. Since becoming an investor, Kevin has been an invaluable advisor and connector, introducing us to other venture investors in both Japan and the United States. Having worked with many venture firms over my career as an entrepreneur, I can say without reservation that Inventum is one of the most supportive and valuable investors I’ve ever had on my cap table.

Over the past two years, Kevin's insight has been paramount for ToolBelt's success and growth. He has helped me expand my knowledge in marketplaces and software as a CEO. One of Kevin's greatest strengths is his ability to conduct both a high-level and detailed market analysis, in order to figure out who are the key players in that space. With Kevin's advisement, I know that ToolBelt will be able to overcome any business hurdle we face. 

Kevin has been involved with our business since the conceptual stage. He has witnessed numerous success stories and failures in the global business arena, providing us with invaluable critical advice. Additionally, He possesses deep insights into technology, offering advice on the quality and effectiveness of technical aspects at a profound level, rather than superficial observations. He is well-versed in negotiation and business practices in English-speaking and Chinese-speaking regions, and he accompany us as the ideal partner during crucial negotiations.
