We invest in companies reinventing the business of fashion and retail

We are venture capitalists investing in companies that use innovative technology to reinvent the business of fashion and retail

We offer more than just capital. Our entrepreneurs benefit from deep, sector-specific insights drawn from leading global fashion players and our extensive network across Asia, particularly in Japan and Southeast Asia.

Lyra Ventures is backed by ZOZO Co., Ltd., Japan’s largest and most innovative fashion e-commerce platform, and TSI Holdings, one of the country’s largest fashion conglomerates.
