    Initial Pitch and Deep Dive

    If your startup is selected for a pitch meeting, we will schedule a 30-minute introductory pitch with our investment team. Within a week, we will decide internally whether to proceed further. At this stage, we may request additional references.

    Due Diligence and Investment Committee

    Upon advancing to the next phase, we conduct thorough due diligence and a review by our investment committee. All General Partners (GPs) will review the opportunity and make the final decision. Our investment committee meets bi-weekly, allowing us to make swift and agile decisions. Typically, we reach a decision within 2-3 weeks of entering due diligence, though exceptions may occur.

    After investing, we actively support startups by connecting them with Japanese stakeholders for fundraising or market entry. In partnership with our associates and wider network, we offer proactive and comprehensive support in sales, marketing, public relations, and recruitment in Japan.
