We get you. We know Japan.

Nikkei Ventures, in association with TRANBI, the largest online corporate matching service in Japan, connects small, medium and listed corporations based in Japan with innovative start-ups based in North America. Not all companies can have a dedicated innovation office in Silicon Valley and be supported with an experienced, creative and international team. The benefit to the onboarding corporates are they can have earlier access to the most interesting up-and-coming companies.

If you are an early stage start-up (Pre-A, Series A) that seeks to expand business opportunities and partnerships in Japan or have Japanese companies in mind, let us know what you are up to.

We pre-filter interested Japanese companies by knowing their needs and timeline. We frequently do in- person and online seminars to shorten the decision-making time. The executive team has been on both sides of the table, our local team of fifteen folks in Japan have banking and finance backgrounds.

We know that every relationship is unique. We’ve covered customer development, exclusive and non- exclusive distribution, technology licensing, local joint ventures, single entity and corporate portfolio investment and acquisitions.

So, contact us; It would be helpful if you could send us your deck to tell your story. In short, what’s so special and why you’re trusted. (An investor pitch deck usually consists of Market opportunity, Product/service uniqueness, Execution – team & plan and Financials)

Nikkei is a term to describe a fusion of the Japanese-American spirit. We are not associated with the Nihon Keizei Shinbun nor its affiliates.
