COMPANY

　We are focusing not only on uncovering investment opportunities but also on creating investment opportunities. We believe that proactive investments in seed funding and start-up ventures will contribute to the revitalization of industry.
　We do not have a very long track record; we commenced our investment activities in January 2016. However, with support from business firms, financial institutions, private venture capital players, and others, we have gradually accumulated experience and know-how in such areas as: financing for start-ups from their initial stages, the creation of carve-out ventures in partnership with large corporations, and investments in overseas venture capital firms.
　For our upcoming investment fund, we plan to allow — under certain circumstances — investments in other national universities’ venture capital firms besides that of Kyoto University. We realize our serious responsibility to help raise the standard of university-sponsored venture capital activities by paying forward the know-how and other skills that we have developed.
　We are deeply aware of the importance of receiving support from everyone because sustaining our activities requires detailed knowledge of science and experience and in launching new products and businesses, as well as human capital possessing an understanding of the culture of the academic world.
　We ask for your continuing support, guidance, and encouragement.
