Penny Jar Capital

Penny Jar Capital is an early-stage venture capital firm investing in exceptional founders and industry-defining technology companies. Anchored by two-time NBA MVP Stephen Curry, Penny Jar's capital base is made up of entrepreneurs, operators, strategic service providers, and institutional investors. The firm leverages its unique ecosystem to help companies address their most pressing needs.

Founded by Bryant Barr and Rich Scudellari, Penny Jar invests in Seed and Series A rounds, backing founders with the imagination, curiosity, and determination to build category-leading companies. The firm is industry-agnostic, investing across a range of sectors in both consumer and B2B companies, focusing on the small details that make a founder and company uniquely suited to tackle a problem. Penny Jar offers flexible capital, leading or co-investing as a strategic partner, and is committed to building long-lasting relationships with founders.

Penny Jar's investment philosophy is rooted in the belief that leaders who imagine 'what if', pursue their vision with deep curiosity, and demonstrate steadfast determination ultimately build the category-leading companies of tomorrow. The firm values inclusion and models the importance of accountability and humility as founders grow and scale their teams. This philosophy became the bedrock of Bryant and Rich’s investment partnership at SC30 Inc., the business entity of Stephen Curry. Together, they curated a blue-chip investment portfolio across multiple industries, which laid the foundation for Penny Jar Capital's formation in 2021.
