I value meeting people. Although we cannot invest in all entrepreneurs, I would like to contribute as much as possible to the business growth of those who are taking on challenges with ambition. I would like to be a partner who can closely support the challenges of startups that will create the norm of the future in 5 or 10 years. I like being physically active (I practice kickboxing these days), going to hot bath facilities (saunas, onsens and public baths), and eating and drinking.
