Venture
After graduating from the Faculty of Business and Commerce at Keio University, she joined JAFCO in April 2023. She is in charge of identifying portfolio companies, executing investments and providing post-investment support for seed and early-stage startups at the Venture Investment Division. She is also engaged in planning and managing various events and seminars aimed at creating new touch points with entrepreneurs.
To date, I have worked to build communities and create opportunities through a variety of programs, including the planning and management of start-up conferences focused on seed-stage entrepreneurs, seminars in collaboration with financial institutions and stock exchanges, and networking events to promote collaboration between start-ups and large companies. I would like to continue contributing to the revitalization of the startup ecosystem.
