Nicole Jang

Nicole Jang is a curious soul at heart — a venture capitalist by profession, but an artist’s ally in spirit. A graduate of the University of Southern California, she brings a global perspective shaped by her life between Tokyo and Singapore and a deep appreciation for creativity, connection, and craft.

​

Nicole is moved by art, drawn to wine, and energized by meaningful conversation — especially with people building something from the heart. She’s especially passionate about early-stage consumer brands and enjoys partnering with founders to co-build identities that endure over time.

​

For Nicole, investing is more than capital — it’s about emotional resonance, shared belief, and the quiet confidence to play the long game.

Focus on early- to growth-stage investments in AI-driven technology and consumer brands, alongside strategic capital alliances and M&A initiatives for Rakuten Group in Japan. Invest through both direct investments and funds across Asia, the U.S., and the GCC.
