InMotion Ventures is the corporate venture capital arm and venture studio of Jaguar Land Rover (JLR), founded in 2016 as a key component of JLR's Open Innovation programme. The organization operates with a dual mandate: (1) Strategic venture capital investments in early-stage startups tackling critical enterprise challenges across climate, industrial, and enterprise technologies, and (2) A venture studio (Studio 107) that validates, incubates, and launches new business ventures from concept to growth. InMotion Ventures collaborates with subject matter experts at JLR to identify and invest in startups shaping the future of the automotive industry, prioritizing environmental and societal impact alongside strategic and financial returns. The firm's unique value proposition lies in providing founders access to one of the world's most innovative OEMs - approximately 90% of their active portfolio companies are engaged with JLR in some capacity. The Studio 107 arm builds new mobility services that leverage JLR's capabilities, with the name paying homage to the 107% rule in motorsport - selecting ideas that play to their strengths and developing them into winning businesses. InMotion Ventures operates as a specialist co-investor, typically not leading rounds but over-indexing on value creation through strategic partnerships, operational support, and connections to the wider Tata Group ecosystem.
