Geodesic Capital

About

Geodesic Capital provides the shortest route between Silicon Valley and Japan. We invest in exceptional entrepreneurs who are building the underlying technologies and platforms of the future.

A UNIQUE VISION

Building a global company is never easy. The process of international expansion is still largely unautomated and the farther you are from home, the more useful local connections and know-how become. This is particularly true for growth stage entrepreneurs who typically see many clones of their businesses pop up worldwide, often with a local twist. Timely connected partners who know these markets can help you expand in an intelligent way and greatly improve your speed of execution to win the market.

We founded Geodesic Capital in Silicon Valley to invest in rapidly growing technology companies facing exactly these problems. We help entrepreneurs as they expand into Asia – starting with Japan. Our team has extensive experience in both markets and is uniquely qualified to guide today’s most promising growth-stage companies as they embark on their global journey. Our Strategic Corporate Partners play a critical role in this process as they seek to join forces with entrepreneurs and expand business opportunities together – in both Silicon Valley and Japan.

OUR VALUE PROPOSITION

Geodesic Capital is a new type of VC firm. Rooted in both Silicon Valley and Japan, we fund rapidly growing tech companies. We provide our portfolio companies with unparalleled access in Japan to senior-level executives, partners and government officials that our portfolio companies need to thrive abroad.

On the ground, our subsidiary, Geodesic Japan, has a team of experts to provide unique market insights, sophisticated “go to market” strategies, introductions to top talent and key partners that companies need in order to start successfully.

Just as important, we support the work of many of our Strategic Corporate Partners (which include the top corporations and financial institutions in Japan), helping them forge relationships with tech companies that are focused on the Japan market with an aim toward digital transformation and new business creation.

Coral Capital

Coral Capital is a venture capital firm focused on helping build Japan’s next legendary companies. In search of the new generation of Sonys and Toyotas, we invest across all stages and all industries, from SaaS all the way to fusion. With about $300m under management, we have invested in over 100 companies including SmartHR, KAKEHASHI, Kyoto Fusioneering, Kaminashi, Hacomono, Graffer, and GITAI. We launched our first fund in partnership with 500 Startups, a Silicon Valley based firm and one of the most active investors in the world. Given our Silicon Valley roots, we were the first to introduce many concepts in Japan, including convertible equity (J-KISS), and the startup market’s first SPV. Although we are no longer affiliated with 500 Startups, we still maintain a global network of investors, some of which are LPs in our funds. In addition to capital, we manage one of the most engaged communities of founders and startup employees in Japan. We also run the most widely read VC blog and the largest startup career fair in the country, both of which drive thousands of candidates to our portfolio companies to hire each year. We believe that the greatest companies are built by founders, not investors. The founders we invest in are exceptional without our help. Our job is to be their multiplier. We help them go faster and go bigger, while giving them the space to build their companies as they see fit. We are not “hands on” investors nor “hands off” investors. We are “hands-if” investors. As in, “call us IF you need us.” We are there when you need us, and out of your way when you don’t. FAST FACTSJames Riney and Yohei Sawayama closed their first fund in partnership with 500 Startups in February 2016. They closed their second fund in February 2019 under their own brand, Coral Capital. Investors include Mizuho Bank, Mitsubishi Estate, Shinsei Bank, J-Power, Pavilion Capital, GREE, Dai-ichi Insurance, Founders Fund, and undisclosed institutional investors in Japan and the US. The partners have about $300m under management. The partners have invested in over 100 companies. We invest across all industries and all stages, from Seed to Series B and beyond. In April 2016, the partners launched the J-KISS, a financing instrument that has quickly become the standard template for seed-stage companies in Japan.
