Why We Created the Web3 VC Group
Building Bridges for Collaboration
The Web3 VC Group was established to bridge the gap between startups, venture capitalists, and industry innovators, fostering an environment where partnerships flourish. Collaboration is vital in a rapidly evolving space like Web3, where new ideas and technologies can only reach their potential through teamwork and shared resources. By creating a platform for meaningful connections, the group enables participants to align their goals, share expertise, and co-create solutions. This collaborative approach ensures that innovation is not stifled by a lack of access to resources or networks, helping the Web3 ecosystem grow stronger through collective efforts and partnerships.
Advancing the Future Together
Innovation is the backbone of the Web3 ecosystem, and the Web3 VC Group was designed to accelerate advancements in key technologies like blockchain, AI, DeFi, and NFTs.

Taking Web3 Innovation Global
The Web3 VC Group aims to put Japanese innovation on the global map by showcasing groundbreaking projects to international investors and markets. Japan’s Web3 startups possess immense potential, but often lack the global visibility needed to attract large-scale investments and partnerships. This platform bridges the gap, offering startups a chance to present their ideas to a global audience. By facilitating this exposure, the group not only boosts individual startups but also enhances Japan’s reputation as a leader in Web3 innovation. This visibility helps attract international attention, fostering cross-border collaborations and scaling Web3 technologies worldwide.
Supporting Startup Growth
The Web3 VC Group focuses on empowering startups by providing them with the tools, connections, and funding they need to succeed. Many startups struggle to scale their ideas due to limited access to mentorship and financial resources. This group addresses those challenges by creating opportunities for startups to connect with experienced investors and industry leaders. Through personalized guidance, access to funding, and a supportive network, the group enables startups to navigate the complex Web3 landscape with confidence. By fostering a culture of empowerment, the group ensures that startups can thrive and contribute meaningfully to the Web3 ecosystem.
