Penny Jar Capital is an early-stage venture fund founded by Bryant Barr and Rich Scudellari. As complementary capital, Penny Jar invests in the category-leading companies of the future, across multiple industries. While playing basketball for Davidson College, Bryant and his teammate Stephen Curry were united by a relentless drive to learn, grow and win – a goal their coach visualized with an empty jar. When the team performed well, each player received a penny for the jar, showing how success is achieved by the consistent contributions of many over time. The result was a historic trip to the Elite 8 of the NCAA Tournament for the underrated team – and a penny jar filled to the rim. Bryant and Rich met while attending The Stanford Graduate School of Business. As collegiate athletes and entrepreneurs, they quickly discovered their shared philosophies on leadership and teamwork focused on three core tenets – imagination, curiosity, and determination. They believe the leaders who imagine “what if”, and pursue their vision with a deep curiosity to learn and a steadfast determination to execute, ultimately build the category-leading companies of tomorrow. These leaders value inclusion, and continually model the importance of accountability and humility as they grow and scale their teams. This shared philosophy became the bedrock of Bryant and Rich’s investment partnership at SC30 Inc., the business entity of two-time NBA MVP and four-time NBA Champion, Stephen Curry. They created the entity’s investment strategy and developed a rigorous framework to identify exceptional founders building transformational businesses. Together, the two ultimately curated a blue-chip investment portfolio across multiple industries. Building on their early success, Bryant and Rich founded Penny Jar in 2021 with Stephen Curry as the fund’s anchor investor and special advisor. Leveraging their collective networks and entrepreneurial expertise, Penny Jar works with founders and their teams to fill their own respective penny jars.

B Venture Capital was founded in 2014 with the aim of supporting Brazilian startups and contributing to the growth of a better ecosystem, creating an ideal situation for entrepreneurs to reach their maximum potential. Many startups receive support from angel investors and/or accelerators in very early stages. However, not all startups can make that "big leap" on their own by simply receiving larger investments from venture capital funds. B Venture Capital focuses on this decisive phase for the success of a business. We work together with entrepreneurs to reach potential clients, design growth strategies, develop financial plans for subsequent investment rounds, and help recruit new team members. Additionally, BVC's network offers the opportunity to expand operations to the US, Europe, and Asia.
