JVCA

Since its launch in November 2002 with 70 members, the Japan Venture Capital Association (JVCA) has grown into the representative body of Japan’s venture‑capital community. Today the association unites almost 400 organizations — roughly 170 independent VCs, 130 corporate VCs, and a cohort of financial institutions, universities, and service partners — giving it extensive coverage of the country’s innovation‑finance market.

JVCA’s mandate is straightforward yet ambitious: accelerate the creation of globally competitive startups and invigorate Japan’s economy. The association conducts research, delivers training, and promotes industry standards that raise both the quality and public perception of venture‑capital activity. Acting as a practical bridge among government, academia, and the private sector, it offers policy recommendations, advocates regulatory improvement, and — through a joint research initiative with Preqin — produces and publishes a transparent venture‑capital performance benchmark that helps institutional investors evaluate opportunities in Japan.

As a convener, JVCA supports collaboration across the ecosystem. In October 2024 it hosted the Global Venture Capital Congress in Tokyo, welcoming delegates from more than thirty countries to discuss capital flows, geopolitical risk, and Asia‑Pacific growth themes. Six months later, its 2025 CVC Forum showcased pragmatic examples of open innovation, illustrating how Japanese corporations partner with startups to build new revenue engines. Regional revitalization roundtables unlock potential outside major metropolitan areas by connecting investors, local governments, and universities.

Looking ahead, JVCA aims to further expand the market value of Japan’s startup sector by 2027. Achieving this will require broadening the supply of risk capital, including venture debt and co‑investment vehicles, deepening M&A and secondary markets, strengthening talent pipelines, and embedding diversity‑driven innovation throughout the ecosystem. Backed by more than two decades of policy engagement, capacity building, and partnership, JVCA is well positioned to equip entrepreneurs with the networks, knowledge, and advocacy needed for successful domestic IPOs, sustainable global expansion, and ongoing international collaboration.
