Non-Japanese founders can see the basic players in the ecosystem and which ones to prioritize (wishlist of top matches x out of investment thesis). I wish such list existed back in 2015 when I joined our VC firm in Kyoto - it'd have been easier to kickoff our network, starting with VCs who also invest in non-Japanese founders.

Collaborating with SYC proved transformative for our VC firm. Their strategic prowess and refined approach didn't just attract entrepreneurs – it orchestrated a symphony of interest. Witnessing our brand growth at events and especially among foreign founders was a testament to their prowess.

The comprehensive Japan Venture Capital Investor list prepared by SYC provided concise and helpful information for founders who looks for funding and resource to grow their enterprise. Thanks to the list, we can have a closer understanding of the startup ecosystem and the support that are available, thus make sound recommendations for the early stage development of startups.
