Frequently asked questions
Does Hybrid Ventures invest outside Japan?
All available information points to a domestic Japan mandate. The firm's Kanagawa location and early-stage focus align with the operational reality that seed and Series A investing in Japan requires physical proximity to founders. No offshore offices, cross-border portfolio companies, or international co-investment partnerships have been publicly associated with the firm.
What investment stages does Hybrid Ventures typically target?
The firm's stated strategy covers startup and early venture stages — the equivalent of seed through Series A in the Japanese market. Japanese seed rounds often involve convertible notes or equity investments below ¥100 million, while Series A rounds commonly range from ¥300 million to ¥1 billion. Hybrid Ventures has not published a minimum or maximum check size.
Is Hybrid Ventures registered as a financial instruments business operator in Japan?
Japan's Financial Services Agency requires firms managing third-party capital to register as Financial Instruments Business Operators under the Financial Instruments and Exchange Act. The firm's registration status is not publicly confirmed through English-language sources. Allocators should verify FSA registration directly or through local counsel before proceeding with subscription documents.
