About

In 1998, when Japan lacked a full-fledged startup-supporting venture capital firm rooted in individual creativity and responsibility as in Europe and the United States, with the cooperation of like-minded philanthropists we launched the first VC fund in Japan run by an individual venture capitalist.

Investment approach

Thesis
We carry out venture support activities keeping in mind the goal of "investing, from an independent standpoint, in Japan-founded ventures that can succeed worldwide, and achieving their public listing by actively supporting their business through the board of directors."Source (opens in a new tab)
