We are pleased to announce that we are now accepting applications for “Out of BOUNDS for DeepTech Entrepreneurs,” a new permanent deep tech startup program for businesspeople with management experience.
This program is a practical *EIR (Entrepreneur in Residence) program for businessmen and women with management experience who want to start a business in the deep tech field, aiming to co-found a company together with researchers and engineers as management personnel.
EIR: Visiting Entrepreneur in Residence. EIRs are entrepreneurs who are temporarily invited to universities or companies as outside experts to develop new businesses or provide management know-how.
In addition to our investment activities as a venture capital firm, we have a startup studio function to continuously search for and verify promising business themes. The feature of this program is to co-create to challenge the unknown while acquiring the business development capabilities and management know-how necessary to implement innovative technologies in the field of deep tech in society through wall-to-wall discussions with our capitalists and experts.
The impact of deep tech is immeasurable and has the potential to transform the existing industrial structure through world-class technological innovation. We strongly support businesspersons who want to open up unknown possibilities and make a name for themselves as “the next leader of innovation”.

◾️ Benefits of participating in the program

1. Industry knowledge from the forefront of deep tech

   Online seminars featuring prominent domestic and international entrepreneurs, investors, and researchers in the deep tech space will be held on a regular basis. Exclusive events will also be planned from time to time to provide a management perspective and know-how on understanding deep tech and business planning.

2. Flexible Participation Structure

   Participation from side or dual jobs is also possible. Capitalists will work together to verify and build business hypotheses, and once a certain level of certainty is reached, full-fledged start-up action will be taken, minimizing risk.
   
   

3. Providing opportunities for co-founding with researchers and experts

   Collaboration with researchers and engineers is key in the field of deep tech. Through the program, we will search for like-minded researchers and support them on the path to co-founding.

   Through sessions with in-house capitalists and experienced entrepreneurs, we build a capital policy and business plan from scratch. If necessary, we will also provide access to the most appropriate investor network and actively consider start-up investments.
