Mirai Sozo Investments Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo; President & CEO: Yuji Okada; hereinafter 'Mirai Sozo Investments') is pleased to announce that it has been selected as one of the agreement partners that produced outstanding results, and its agreement period has been extended for the 'CTO Supply and Training Ecosystem.' This initiative has been promoted as a FY2024 agreement partner for 'TOKYO SUTEAM,' a startup support expansion project by diverse entities implemented by the Tokyo Metropolitan Government.
To address the shortage of CTO talent, which is a major challenge when commercializing technology seeds from universities and other institutions, Mirai Sozo Investments has been building a 'CTO Supply and Training Ecosystem.'
This initiative is promoted with the following three pillars:
1. Building a CTO talent pool utilizing diverse routes.
2. Training CTO talent through collaboration with our capitalists, management talent, and CTOs of existing deep tech startups.
3. Diversifying matching routes with technology seeds.
We consider this extension as a result of our efforts being evaluated for creating a mechanism that comprehensively supports the supply, training, and connection of talent, addressing issues before and after the founding in the deep tech sector. As a major achievement in FY2024, regarding the outcome KPI of deep tech startup creation, Promethean Inc. (Minato-ku, Tokyo; CEO: Yoichiro Koga) and ELECQUEST LLC (Minato-ku, Tokyo; Representative: Sota Kimura) were founded, achieving the goal.
Furthermore, regarding the adoption of subsidies for the technology seeds we supported hands-on, we achieved 4 cases against a target of 4. In addition, regarding output KPIs, we achieved the target of 150 people in building the CTO talent pool, and the target of 15 cases for matching support with pre-founding technology seeds.
During the one-year extension period, we will further deepen the CTO talent network and support know-how we have formed so far, and further expand the touchpoints between researchers and entrepreneur candidates with technology seeds, and CTO candidate talent who will lead commercialization. Through this, we will increase the probability of commercializing promising technology seeds, including those from universities, and strongly support the creation and growth of deep tech startups from Tokyo.
In the future, we plan to hold information sessions and matching events aimed at creating touchpoints between CTO candidates and researchers/entrepreneur candidates with technology seeds. Details will be announced on our website and SNS.
