FUNDINNO's Strategic Collaborations to Boost Startup Financing

FUNDINNO, a leading platform for unlisted equity funding based in Minato, Tokyo, has significantly expanded its collaborations with local banks and securities firms, now totaling 37 partners. This move aims to enhance their sourcing of projects and maximize the investment network within Japan’s startup ecosystem. The company has not only joined forces with financial institutions but has also partnered with over 10 municipalities and public organizations, working collectively to nurture a thriving startup environment.

Background and Objectives of the Partnerships

FUNDINNO's vision is encapsulated in the phrase “Creating a Future Where Challenges Are Fairly Faced.” Recognizing that the availability of risk capital is crucial for the growth of small and venture businesses—which are the backbone of the local economy—the company is addressing the limitations of Japan’s traditional financing system, which tends to rely heavily on loans. Traditional financing often fails to meet the unique capital demands of startups, necessitating innovative solutions.

To bridge this gap, FUNDINNO has established a framework for mutual introductions between businesses and investors in collaboration with trusted local financial institutions. This initiative has received widespread support, culminating in the current portfolio of partnerships reaching 37 organizations.

Moreover, FUNDINNO has not limited its focus to financial institutions; they have also formalized partnerships with numerous municipalities and public entities, driving a public-private collaborative effort towards building a robust startup ecosystem in Japan.

Future Expectations

Looking ahead, FUNDINNO is committed to further expanding its partnerships with financial institutions across Japan. The aim is to create a landscape where capable local companies can secure funding from their communities and fans, celebrating mutual growth. Additionally, the company will focus on enhancing liquidity to ensure sustainability, contributing to regional revitalization and the rejuvenation of the Japanese economy.
