Regrowth Capital Management Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director: Atsushi Urushidani) is pleased to announce the final closing of the "RGCM No. 1 Investment Limited Partnership," a fund specialized in direct secondary investments managed by the company and its executives. The fund has been successfully formed with a final total amount of approximately 10 billion yen.
Since its establishment on March 29, 2024, this fund has reached its final closing thanks to the support of numerous institutional investors, including the Japan Investment Corporation (JIC), who have shown understanding of our investment strategy and the necessity of the secondary market, as well as trust in our team members.
We would like to take this opportunity to express our deepest gratitude to all investors and stakeholders for their investment and support during the establishment and subsequent fundraising activities of this fund.
**About Direct Secondary Investment**
In recent years, there has been an increasing number of cases where existing shareholders, such as VCs and CVCs, are required to exit due to factors such as fund maturity or changes in business synergies, regardless of the performance or potential growth of the investee companies. In this environment, we believe that supplying appropriate liquidity through direct secondary transactions will play an increasingly important role in promoting a healthy cycle within Japan's startup ecosystem.
Furthermore, we believe that for startups, shareholder reorganization through such transactions can serve as a measure to address market challenges such as "premature IPOs" or "small-scale IPOs" by securing timing options leading up to an IPO.
This fund focuses on high-quality growth companies with a high probability of IPO. Through a direct secondary specialized investment strategy, we will carry out investments and support to enable these companies to achieve further growth and development.
