About
Luca Meguro is a corporate venture investor serving as Senior Associate / Manager at MS&AD Ventures, the corporate venture capital firm set up by MS&AD Insurance Group Holdings. Before joining the fund, he helped MS&AD, the Japanese insurance group, develop a digital crash-detection system with external technology providers, which drew him toward working with startups. At MS&AD Ventures he has worked on investments including Fairmatic and Coverflex and on strategic partnerships with MS&AD business units, in a role that took him from Japan to Silicon Valley. He was named to Global Venturing's Rising Stars 2024 list, and his stated interests include autonomous driving and AI as they relate to insurance. Luca brings a corporate-venture perspective on insurtech investing, startup and corporate partnerships, mobility technology, and working between Japanese and US teams. The role gives him direct exposure to how a strategic investor assesses early-stage companies and connects them with business units inside a large insurance group. Luca is particularly relevant to conversations around corporate venture capital, insurtech and mobility investing, startup collaboration with Japanese corporates, and cross-border work between Japan and the US.
