Investment thesis
GMO VenturePartners focuses on fintech, drawing on over a decade of investment experience across four regions: Japan, the United States, India, and Southeast Asia. It operates on the belief that the wider world is becoming 'fintech-ified,' and works closely with its strategic LP, GMO Payment Gateway, to help portfolio companies build fintech capabilities. The firm provides post-investment support that can include lending from within the same corporate group, and leverages group synergies to source promising investment candidates. It invests across multiple stages in both Asia and the US.
