Dreamers VC

Los Angeles-based early-stage venture capital fund founded in 2018, investing in US startups and connecting them with Japanese corporate investors and a global network.

Dreamers VC is an early-stage venture capital fund founded in 2018 and based in Los Angeles. Its investment activity is oriented around a specific structural proposition: connecting US startups with Japanese corporate investors and a broader global network. The fund backs companies at their early stages and supports founders through relationship access and practical resources rather than through a single defined sector mandate.

The portfolio spans consumer, enterprise, entertainment, financial technology, health and biotechnology, and reflects that breadth. Named holdings include Alchemy and Dapper Labs (web3 and blockchain infrastructure), Bolt and Mercury (payments and startup banking), Oura and Tonal (health and connected fitness), Pangaia and Our Place (materials science and direct-to-consumer), The Boring Company (tunneling infrastructure) and Clubhouse (social audio). Ten portfolio companies are publicly named.

The firm describes its approach as founder-supportive: it defers to entrepreneurs' expertise and vision while providing what it terms broad access to venture-building, collaboration, transparency, speed and practical support. A cross-cultural US–Japan orientation is central to the model, and the fund states an interest in companies working towards more efficient and inclusive futures. Fund size, check size and decision-making structure are not disclosed publicly.
