Global Brain is an independent venture capital firm that aims to bring new industries to the society through extensive hands-on support for startups and open innovation with large corporations.
Going Beyond
Global Brain’s mission is to “bring unimaginable innovation into society through business creation”. Our surrounding environment is significantly changing due to global risks including extremely intense global competition, pandemic, and global warming. We believe that in such a time of uncertainty lies the greatest opportunity.
The power of startups is vital to overcome the unprecedented situations. The global economy is now largely led by many companies created right after the financial crisis.
For startups to achieve rapid growth, the existence of corporations is also crucial. Driving open innovation by combining startups’ technologies and corporations’ insights will more likely to bring about transformation.
Global Brain will aim for achieving the unimaginable in the society and continue to support business creation by working together with global startups and corporations, while also creating our own businesses.
