About

Our
mission

Providing essential knowledge and capital to entrepreneurs chasing their dreams, and together, building sustainable new industries.

Belief

Even in Japan’s mature economy, there are many potentially promising, yet underdeveloped, sectors. For example, “decarbonization,” “regional revitalization,” and “sports and culture” are fields deeply connected to daily life and capable of enriching lives. Overseas, many success stories already exist, and small to medium-sized enterprises and entrepreneurs aspiring to high growth continue to pursue their dreams and take on challenges.

A single idea becomes a business, multiple businesses form an industry, and eventually, it becomes an indispensable part of many people’s daily lives, rooting itself as a culture. For young people, it becomes a career option; universities expand their specialized courses, and it becomes a pillar of support for all generations.

We will lead the creation of new industries. Our scope will not be limited to Japan but will also normalize connections with overseas markets. We will wholeheartedly support “dream chasers” by leveraging the passion of both those who create businesses and those who provide capital, as well as our unique build-up methodology, expertise, network, and capital—all derived from our comprehensive understanding of both sides.
