Investment thesis

GMO VenturePartners is a fintech-focused venture capital firm backed by GMO Internet Group. It invests across four regions — Japan, the US, India, and Southeast Asia — drawing on more than a decade of fintech investment experience. Its strategy rests on three pillars: deep sector knowledge accumulated across these markets; leveraging strategic LP GMO Payment Gateway to help portfolio companies add fintech capabilities; and group synergies that enable post-investment support (including group lending) and strong deal sourcing. The firm invests across multiple stages and targets Asia and the United States.
