Artist and Founder

Scrum Ventures is an early stage venture capital firm based in Silicon valley. We invest in entrepreneurs who are creating startups in the high growth mobile sector. We help companies accelerate growth with our expertise and powerful network in Asia.

We recently announced Untapped Capital, a new VC firm I started w/ my true friend and role model Jessica Jackley. We're a pre-seed/seed fund investing in unexpected founders, found off the beaten path, not well connected to VCs. We're talking young, underrepresented, small town, immigrant, and so on. These founders aren't in our network (almost by definition), so we primarily source through outbound, meaning we reach out to founders. We look at tens of thousands, track and tag thousands, and reach out to the startups that stand out to us. We like to do other things in unexpected ways too. We're fully remote, impact minded, and run our firm off of a custom no code CRM. We're lean, experimental, and collaborative. More than anything, we're all about our founders. Very humbled to be working with incredible companies such as MilkRun (ag/food), Level (fintech/marketplaces), Obviously AI (No Code/ML), Endpoint Logistics (proptech/logistics), Tennibot (sports/robotics), and Windmill (home/climate).
