VVJ was established to tap on early-stage investment opportunities in Japan, modelled after the success of its sister funds in China, Israel, Southeast Asia and India, as well as the US. These early-stage funds are independently managed by their respective general partners (GPs) which centre around different investment areas in their geographic regions.
Vertex Ventures Japan (VVJ) — part of the Vertex network — has launched its inaugural JPY10 billion fund Vertex Ventures Japan Fund I (VVJFI), anchored by Vertex Holdings, Temasek’s venture capital arm.
The fund focuses on investing in leading Japanese startups with high growth potential and strong underlying growth drivers.
