History
In 2000, founded by Koichi Hori under the philosophy of creating 100 companies such as Sony and Honda.![]()
Founded in 2000 by Koichi Hori under the philosophy of "creating 100 companies like Sony and Honda." Focusing on the low startup rate, a contributing factor to Japan's economic stagnation, the company has pursued investment and incubation to support the growth of venture companies and nurture next-generation leaders. Building on the knowledge cultivated since its founding, the company has recently adopted the mission of "creating businesses that change society," and, with a distinctive approach called business produce, focuses on supporting business creation on the scale of several hundred billion yen, while also tackling existing business reform and management challenges using technology, continuously challenging the transformation of Japanese companies and society.![]()
