Frequently asked questions
What is STRIVE’s investment strategy?
STRIVE invests primarily in seed and early-stage technology startups in Japan, with capacity for follow-on expansion and growth rounds. The firm targets enterprise software, HR tech, fintech, mobility, robotics, and digital health, among other sectors. Portfolio support includes recruiting, organizational design, and go-to-market execution rather than board-only oversight.
How does STRIVE support portfolio companies beyond capital?
STRIVE provides hands-on operational support including talent acquisition, organizational design, and market-entry execution. In at least one published case, the firm co-led a multi-month recruiting transformation for portfolio company M&A Cloud, embedding its own resources to help the startup scale past 100 employees.
