■ Our Journey and the Positioning of This Fund
Since the formation of our first fund in July 2018, the Company has consistently supported deep tech startups tackling areas vital to the foundation of society, such as environment/energy/new materials, robotics, space, and advanced information technology.
The global environment is undergoing significant changes, including demographic shifts, climate change, and industrial structural transformations. In this context, we believe that addressing societal challenges through business creation rooted in scientific and engineering technology is a crucial area where Japan can demonstrate international presence.
Based on this understanding, the Company has continuously engaged with entrepreneurs possessing technological advantages, providing ongoing support from business conceptualization to organizational development, business development, fundraising, and overseas expansion. Through this process, we have validated the validity of our initial investment hypotheses through public listings, large-scale fundraising, and expanding collaborations with industry.
With this Fund, we will build upon our past efforts and focus on investing in Japanese seed and early-stage startups. Furthermore, compared to general venture capital funds, we will limit the number of portfolio companies to a certain extent, and intensively allocate human and network resources to each investment, providing consistent support from the initial startup phase through growth.
■ Looking Ahead
The Company will continue to support entrepreneurs who are committed to creating sustainable industries through the social implementation of scientific and engineering technology, taking a long-term perspective.
Since its establishment in August 2024, the Fund has been actively investing in promising deep tech startups. We continue to welcome encounters with entrepreneurs who are challenging to solve societal issues with deep technological advantages, with an eye on the global market.
