I built ネットマーケティング from zero to a TSE First Section listing, then sold to Bain Capital for ¥13.5 billion. Now I invest my own capital in seed-stage founders who aim to build listed companies.
Primarily seed-stage, with tickets of ¥5M–¥20M. I deploy approximately ¥100M annually across 6 new companies, plus follow-on investments in existing portfolio.
I don't advise from theory. I built, scaled, listed, and exited a company myself — and now I bring that full lifecycle experience to every founder I back.
My investment style is "Hands-if" — I'm always available when you need me, without getting in your way. Here's where I add the most value.
18 years of operating experience across B2B advertising and B2C matching services. I help founders think through market timing, competitive moats, and go-to-market.
From seed valuation to IPO cap table — I help with fundraising structure, dilution planning, and JKISS vs. preferred stock decisions from day one.
Direct experience navigating JASDAQ → TSE First Section. I know audit firms, securities houses, and the governance requirements inside out.
Connected to 63 VCs and 20+ prominent angels. I actively bridge founders to the right investors through co-investment deals — the #1 request from portfolio companies.
Scaled from 1 to 200+ employees. I share frameworks on hiring, evaluation systems, management layers, and avoiding the organizational breakdowns I experienced myself.
Went through a ¥13.5B TOB process personally. I explain the real differences between private M&A and public-company TOB from firsthand experience.
29 companies backed across AI, SaaS, matching platforms, DX, and fintech — with a focus on unicorn-potential seed-stage startups.
