Frequently asked questions
Who runs investment decisions at Quantum Leaps Capital Partners?
The four partners — Hiroyasu Koma, Kazuyoshi Hagihara, Tomohiro Nakamura, and Ryoichi Fujimoto — form the investment committee. Koma, the architect of Japan's first mass-produced EV, leads deal sourcing and portfolio construction. Nakamura, concurrently president of parent Quantum Leap Inc., adds strategic and cross-border origination. Fujimoto, who joined in February 2025, brings IPO-selection experience from Nomura Securities and Japan Venture Capital.
How does Quantum Leaps source proprietary deal flow?
Deal flow runs through the Adventure Village incubation ecosystem — a hybrid platform that combines venture finance, business-development support, and overseas partnership access. Parent company Quantum Leap Inc., founded by ex-Sony chairman Nobuyuki Idei, provides a pipeline of deep-tech entrepreneurs and corporate spinouts. The firm also leverages Koma's operating companies, Serendix and FOMM, to surface hardware and infrastructure-tech startups.
Does Quantum Leaps operate as a venture capital firm or an incubator?
It operates as both. The firm is the financial arm of the Adventure Village incubation ecosystem. That means it writes equity checks into early-stage startups while the incubator provides shared services, business-development support, and cross-border expansion guidance — an integrated model that departs from the arms-length posture of most Japanese VCs.
How is Quantum Leaps Capital Partners related to Serendix and FOMM?
Both Serendix, which builds 3D-printed houses, and FOMM, which develops logistics electric vehicles, were founded by Quantum Leaps co-founder Hiroyasu Koma. They sit inside the same operating group as the venture firm, creating a capital-plus-operations architecture that allows portfolio companies to access manufacturing expertise, supply chains, and potential strategic acquirers.
Does Quantum Leaps maintain ties to Nobuyuki Idei and the Sony diaspora?
Yes. Parent company Quantum Leap Inc. was founded by former Sony chairman and CEO Nobuyuki Idei, and co-founder Tomohiro Nakamura joined Idei's original vehicle in 2012. Nakamura previously served in business-development and Asian-expansion roles at Sony itself, and that alumni network remains central to the firm's cross-border origination and senior advisory access.
