Venture capital: The next level
Japan’s VC managers are being asked the same questions as their global peers on valuation policies, portfolio exposure, and exit timelines. Beneath the surface, however, there remains a sense that the country’s start-up ecosystem is at an inflection point; that the investment opportunity, especially in areas like deep technology, has barely been tapped. Our panellists consider the characteristics that will define the next generation of local start-ups and how quickly they can achieve global scale.

- Which will deliver the most alpha: deep tech, climate tech, or biotech?
- What has happened to growth-stage funding?
- How are investing thinking through their exit options?
