Pacific Meta

Pacific Meta does not disclose a traditional CIO or investment committee because it operates as a consultancy and product builder, not an asset manager. CEO Shota Iwasaki and co-founders Kousei Sho and Kazuhito Azechi lead client-facing and product-development decisions with support from Executive Officer Shohei Matsumoto, who heads the firm's Blockchain Lab. The firm has not publicly disclosed any proprietary investment vehicle or external LP capital.

The firm sources through its own event series — including the Japan Stablecoin Summit and Onchain Finance Summit — a multilingual business-development team spanning five languages, and direct relationships with Japanese financial institutions and government agencies. Its recent Global Blockchain Partner Solutions line explicitly targets enterprises that need implementation support for overseas protocols such as those from Ethereum, Solana, and Circle.

Neither. Pacific Meta is structured as a blockchain consulting and product-development firm. It does not publicly report assets under management, does not market itself as a family office, and generates revenue through advisory fees and its own product launches rather than carried interest or management fees on third-party capital.

The firm does not publicly detail its compensation structures, but its model — building proprietary products such as AutoFund and an IP-trading platform while acquiring companies like Komlock lab — indicates it may hold equity in ventures it incubates. No public filings or disclosures confirm a systematic equity-for-services arrangement.

Pacific Meta's website lists financial services, technology, telecom, entertainment and media, consumer goods and retail, real estate, gaming and NFTs, and government as target verticals. The firm does not publish a negative list, though its blockchain-and-AI focus means it is unlikely to engage outside digital-asset-adjacent industries.

Pacific Meta has publicly announced two wholly owned subsidiaries: Kenpal Inc. and, as of May 2026, Komlock lab. The firm describes these acquisitions as part of an "AI × blockchain growth strategy" that layers in-house technical capabilities onto its consulting business, effectively operating as a holding company for product-oriented Web3 teams.

The firm lists memberships in the Japan Security Token Association (JSTA), the Japan STO Association (JSTOA), and the Fintech Association of Japan. These affiliations place it within the self-regulatory framework for security tokens and fintech in Japan, which is relevant for the token-design and stablecoin work it publicizes.
