Nicole LeBlanc brings a background in sustainable cities and urban infrastructure from her time at Sidewalk Labs and 2150 to her work at Woven Capital, where she focuses on mobility as it connects to the built environment and infrastructure, insists deals work financially rather than on strategy alone, and helps portfolio companies work through Toyota's business units so they don't get lost inside a large company. Her interests extend beyond mobility into areas like hydrogen and lunar rovers, and outside Woven she co-founded Sandpiper Ventures, a women-led VC fund in Atlantic Canada.
About their Fund
Woven Capital focuses on startups that have already proven their product works and are ready for Series B or later funding, writing $10M–$50M checks to help them scale up inside Toyota's business rather than just funding early ideas; it backs this up with a dedicated Portfolio Success team, access to more than 1,000 Toyota experts, and over 80% of its portfolio actively working with Toyota, while still requiring that each deal make financial sense on its own even when the strategic fit with Toyota is strong. The fund defines "mobility" broadly across a 12-sector grid tied to Toyota's Woven City vision—including energy, agriculture, education, smart homes, healthcare, payments, and safety—and acts as a bridge into Toyota's wider network, as shown by helping WeaveGrid connect with thousands of utility companies, investing in adjacent networks like 2150, and hosting events like its Global CEO Summit that bring entrepreneurs together with Toyota executives.
