ASAHI MEDIA LAB VENTURES is a corporate venture capital firm founded in 2017 and based in Tokyo. It invests primarily in seed- and early-stage internet-related companies in Japan and the United States, with an additional presence in Silicon Valley. The firm is backed by The Asahi Shimbun and Asahi Shimbun Group television companies.
Investment activity is concentrated in internet-related technologies, media technology, entertainment technology and digital media. Through venture funds supported by its media-group backers, the firm provides capital to startups developing businesses in areas connected to changing media and technology markets. Its stated target is companies seeking to build and grow across both the Japanese and US markets - a cross-border mandate spanning Tokyo and Silicon Valley.
Leadership includes Hiroshi Nozawa, identified by PE Hub as Partner, President and Chief Executive Officer. The firm operates within the corporate venture capital model, meaning capital is anchored to strategic media-group shareholders rather than to external limited partners. Its focus remains concentrated at the seed and early stages of company formation.
