Investment approach

Thesis
In the venture capital (VC) industry there are various types of VC, such as financial, university-affiliated, government-affiliated and independent. Among independents, A-Start takes a distinctive position as an "entrepreneur-type VC". Based on what we ourselves have actually experienced as entrepreneurs, we want to be the kind of presence that runs alongside the executives of our portfolio companies at the same eye level, solving what they are worried about now, the management issues they feel, and the preparations to be addressed around the time of listing, and growing together with them.Source (opens in a new tab)
