Our company took its present form in March 2006, following the reorganization of its predecessor, URS (Universal Resource Systems). After a journey with its share of twists and turns, it came to serve primarily as a vehicle for founder Ikuo Hiraishi’s angel investments.
Today, we are embarking on a new chapter, with a mission to help build globally competitive startups from Japan. We know we still have much to build—in both resources and capabilities. But we are committed to moving forward, one step at a time, with patience, persistence, and a determination to see this mission through.
