Dear Excellent Entrepreneurs:
Global Brain is a venture capital, which focuses on seed- and early-stage ventures, and we commit to accelerate growth of portfolio ventures by providing not only capital but also supports to establish business models, marketing teams, sales processes, and search for executives.
We believe that we can maximize probabilities of successes of the portfolio ventures by providing our services and resources. However, we have never been satisfied with our status quo, and have kept on strengthening our capabilities of venture-supports by adding highly talented and motivated professionals day by day.
We also invite top tier specialists in various areas as advisers to reinforce our expertise.
Besides, we have created and strengthened wide range of relationships with top companies in each industry to drive partnerships between these companies and the portfolio ventures.
We believe that a venture capital should not end its relationships with the portfolio ventures by selling off the portfolio ventures’ shares in stock markets after IPO.
Based on the relations of trust, even after IPO, we hope to keep on owing the portfolio ventures’ shares and supporting the portfolio ventures, and we and the portfolio ventures would like to aim the first section of the Tokyo Stock Exchange, and global deployments of business together.
As a venture capital, we have the strongest mind-set for building as many excellent ventures as possible among the venture capital community. We would like to support the managements of the portfolio ventures to be successful in their business by leveraging our professionalism based on our commitments, track records, experiences, and expertise.
On a final note, we would like to contribute to revitalize our economy by consistently incubating as many excellent ventures as possible without effected by any situations of stock markets.
We look forward to seeing you and challenging together.
Sincerely yours,
Yasuhiko Yurimoto
President and CEO
