FUNDINNO Inc. has agreed to further strengthen its capital and business alliance with Okasan Securities Co., Ltd. by signing a memorandum of understanding to promote financial support for unlisted companies and provide new investment opportunities for investors.
This enhanced collaboration aims to merge the strengths of both companies to further contribute to the development of Japan's startup ecosystem.
■ Background and Purpose
Since their initial capital and business alliance in March 2022, the two companies have been collaborating to facilitate the smooth supply of funds to domestic unlisted companies by leveraging their mutual knowledge and networks.
Recently, against the backdrop of the government's "Five-Year Plan for Startup Development," the financing needs of unlisted companies have become larger and more diverse. Meanwhile, investors are showing a rapidly growing appetite for investing in "unlisted stocks" as an alternative asset to diversify their portfolios beyond traditional assets like listed stocks and bonds. To respond quickly to these market changes, the companies have agreed to fundamentally strengthen their collaboration.
■ Details of the Initiatives
The following initiatives will be launched and rolled out sequentially.
- Providing Investment Opportunities through "FUNDINNO PLUS+"
We will establish a framework to introduce "FUNDINNO PLUS+" and "FUNDINNO MARKET PLUS+," which specialize in large-scale fundraising, to the clients of Okasan Securities' private banking (PB) department. This will provide opportunities to invest in carefully selected unlisted companies using schemes such as the J-Ships system for professional investors.
*FUNDINNO launches "FUNDINNO MARKET PLUS+", a secondary market for unlisted stocks for professional investors. (https://prtimes.jp/main/html/rd/p/000000287.000021941.html)
