## Questions

### Does Nanotech Partners co-invest with external GPs or corporate investors?

The firm's model is built on co-investment with corporate strategic partners, particularly Japanese industrial conglomerates in chemicals, electronics, and heavy manufacturing. These corporate LPs gain early visibility into disruptive materials science, while the firm provides startup governance and commercialization guidance, often securing pilot-project agreements as part of the investment.

### What is Nanotech Partners' geographic investment focus?

The primary geographic focus is Japan, with additional portfolio exposure across North America and Europe where leading nanotechnology research is conducted. The firm acts as a conduit for bringing non-Japanese materials-science startups into Asian manufacturing supply chains, particularly in the semiconductor and specialty-chemicals industries.
