Intuit Inc. (Nasdaq: INTU), the global technology platform that makes TurboTax, QuickBooks, Mint and Credit Karma, today announced the launch of Intuit Ventures, its corporate venture capital program. Intuit Ventures will help accelerate innovation for businesses and consumers through the companies it invests in, driving future innovations for consumers and small businesses. The program will primarily invest in series B and C-stage companies that are solving small businesses and consumers’ biggest problems, with areas of interest including fintech, virtual expertise, consumer finance, omni-channel commerce, AI-enabled services and crypto/DeFi.

“Our mission of powering prosperity around the world inspires us to solve our customers’ most important financial challenges. Innovation both within Intuit and outside the company is critical to achieving our mission,” said Shveta Mujumdar, Vice President of Corporate Development and leader of Intuit Ventures at Intuit. “We have always supported the ecosystem around us with our open platform, and we’ve been partnering with startups on our platform for many years. Intuit Ventures accelerates our ability to empower entrepreneurs and the start-up community, and invest directly in their success.”
