Investment Support for DFree: A Partnership Between FUNDINNO and FLAG-VENTURES

In a strategic collaboration, FUNDINNO and FLAG-VENTURES have announced their investment in DFree Co., a Tokyo-based startup specializing in excretion prediction devices. This partnership, aimed at enhancing connections within the startup ecosystem, reflects a growing trend among venture capitalists to seek promising technology firms that can potentially reshape industries.

Background of the Partnership

As the startup market expands rapidly, the challenge of identifying and engaging with high-potential enterprises has become increasingly complicated. FUNDINNO, a leading platform that allows individuals to access the unlisted stock market, has developed extensive networks and connections with numerous startups that have undergone rigorous screening processes. By collaborating with FLAG-VENTURES, whose investment focus aligns with DFree's innovative offerings, these two firms have successfully matched their interests to facilitate investment, thereby unlocking new opportunities for growth and synergy.

Future Prospects

Moving forward, FUNDINNO is committed to fortifying partnerships with various VC and CVC entities, including FLAG-VENTURES. This collaboration is expected to generate further opportunities for professional investors to discover high-quality investment opportunities that they may not have encountered or approached independently. Such matching opportunities will undoubtedly contribute to a more dynamic funding cycle within Japan's startup ecosystem.
