Frequently asked questions
What investment stages does The Seed Capital target?
The firm invests exclusively at the earliest stages: pre-seed and seed. It describes its mandate as supporting startups from incorporation through the point where they are ready to raise a Series A. The Seed Capital does not indicate participation in later-stage or growth rounds.
Does The Seed Capital publish a portfolio or list of past investments?
The firm maintains a portfolio page on its website, but the page does not currently list individual company names or investment details. As a result, no specific portfolio holdings or realized exits are publicly attributable to The Seed Capital. This opacity is not uncommon among early-stage Japanese seed managers, but it limits the ability to track sector concentration or performance externally.
Who runs investment decisions at The Seed Capital?
The firm's website features a team page but does not name any individual principals, partners, or investment committee members. Without public biographies or regulatory filings that list controlled persons, the individuals responsible for investment decisions are not identifiable from available primary sources.
What is the firm's known geographic footprint?
The Seed Capital is headquartered in Tokyo, Japan, and all of its public-facing activity — including the THESEED TALK consultation program and its Japanese-language website — is focused on the domestic Japanese startup ecosystem. There is no indication of additional offices or formal investment mandates outside Japan.
