Venture
Partner（SV6 / V7 / V8）
After graduating from the Graduate School of Decision Science and Technology, Tokyo Institute of Technology (currently Institute of Science Tokyo), he joined JAFCO in April 2010. He has been consistently engaged in venture investments. He has been Partner since March 2018.
So far, I have consistently supported startups mainly in the seed and early stages. Every day, I find joy and fulfillment in the process of overcoming the many challenges that entrepreneurs face together. The earlier the stage the portfolio companies are at, the more tested you will be as a capitalist. I will continue to sincerely engage with entrepreneurs working for a cause and opening up the next generation so that I can remain their number one advocate, earn their trust and continue to be their driving force.
