Selection is made with a focus on manufacturing startups. We do not simply make investments, but rather invest in the initial stage of the project to create and grow new businesses together with investee companies.

We have established a system that enables us to create a full package of mechanical, electrical and software development, and we can support for development and prototyping as a total solution.

We provide comprehensive assembly support for international purchasing (IPO), in-house manufacturing and assembly of parts from the initial stage at large overseas factories. We contribute to quality, cost and delivery for your business.
