About the Acquisition
Komlock and Pacific Meta announced this M&A to strengthen the business expansion of both companies.
Komlock has been developing technologies and promoting business to create an autonomous economic zone realized by Blockchain x AI Agents. By joining the Pacific Meta Group, they expect to accelerate the formation of a Japan-originated AI agent economic zone by combining Pacific Meta's global network with Komlock's technological prowess.
The business models, customer bases, and value propositions of both companies are highly complementary. We view this initiative as contributing not only to business growth but also to the development of the Blockchain x AI sector.
As the entity that has invested in and supported Komlock's growth, we find this development deeply significant.
Rapid Growth and Exit within 1.5 Years of Founding
Komlock has built a track record in both technological and business development within the advanced field of AI Agents x Blockchain. We are delighted that this has culminated in an exit in the short span of about 1.5 years since its founding.
From Komlock's inception, the Company has worked closely with them on their technology, organization, and capital strategies to support their growth. We have also endeavored to drive business growth and enhance corporate value through initiatives like co-hosting hackathons in the stablecoin space and mutual customer referrals.
Amid accelerating changes in the market environment and technology trends, achieving relevant theme-setting, speedy business execution, and an M&A at the right timing stands as an excellent case study in the Japanese startup ecosystem.

This marks the Company's second portfolio M&A case this term.
Leveraging the insights and capital gains acquired through this support, we will accelerate our reinvestment and growth assistance for promising next-generation startups, fostering further challenges.
The Company will continue to evolve its value proposition as a tech accelerator that runs alongside entrepreneurs, from business creation to growth and ultimately the optimal exit.
Comment from Masato Nunome, Representative Director of Komlock lab Inc.
'Mr. Matsuyama from TECHFUND accompanied me in every situation where I hesitated as a manager, from capital policy to organization building right from the early days. He graciously spared his time even for sudden requests like, "Can we have a 1-on-1 today?" The past year and a half was a hands-on learning experience of what it means to stand by an entrepreneur. I intend to repay this gratitude through achievements within the Pacific Meta Group.'
