Startups before and after listing face several challenges, such as a lack of growth capital in the late stage, small IPOs, weak governance, and a lack of response to the environment that changes dramatically after listing. To solve these issues, crossover investments that can consistently support growth from the late stage to after listing are needed. In addition, to realize the “new capitalism” advocated by the Japanese government, a specific goal has been set to provide 10 trillion yen in growth capital to startups and create 100 unicorns by 2027, and crossover investments are considered to be the key to achieving this. We have decided to establish a crossover impact fund that can provide long-term capital to promising late-stage startups aiming for an impact-oriented IPO that will lead to the resolution of social issues, and support the improvement of corporate value with an emphasis on sustainable growth after listing, by combining our experience and knowledge of supporting startup investments in the deep tech field with Nomura Asset Management Co., Ltd.’s long-standing experience ineffective dialogue with listed companies.
