Investment thesis
NTVP, founded in 1998, positions itself as Japan's first independent (unaffiliated with any financial group) and hands-on venture capital firm. It concentrates on early-stage investing, with roughly two-thirds of its portfolio in startup or seed-stage companies. The team takes an active, team-oriented approach to company building across all portfolio companies and maintains long-term commitments, supporting founders through product creation, sales expansion, organizational development, and the path to IPO or M&A. Its limited partners are largely successful entrepreneurs and angel investors.
