Closest to the Entrepreneur
Since our founding in 1973, JAFCO has invested in and supported companies with high potential for innovation and growth that fundamentally transform industries and society. The cumulative committed capital for our managed funds in Japan and overseas exceeds 1 trillion yen, and we have taken more than 1,000 of our portfolio companies public. In our venture investment activities, we primarily invest in seed and early-stage startups with high growth potential, and we provide follow-on investments in the scale of several hundred million yen in line with their subsequent growth. Driven by our desire to be the entrepreneur's closest partner and help them realize their ambitions ("kokorozashi"), we go beyond simply providing capital; we continuously consider and execute on what we can do for the long-term growth of our portfolio companies.

We wholeheartedly support the efforts of all of you who are taking on the challenge of technological innovation to solve the various issues facing society.
First of all, we would love to hear from you. We hope to hear your thoughts and ideas and work together to expand the possibilities.
