The Venture Capital paradigm is changing. Traditional private VC companies are finding it hard to compete in an environment where the sheer speed of change makes technological expertise the crucial factor for success. And as the number of wireless appliances begins to outstrip the number of PCs, the direction of IT technology itself is changing. Meanwhile a geographical shift means that the US-centered approach is being replaced by a genuinely worldwide focus.

Mobile Internet Capital Inc. is a venture capital company created specifically to take advantage of opportunities in this new environment. We focus on wireless and/or internet-related technologies and services in the Japanese market. Established by 3 major Japanese corporations, and with over 30 major Japanese corporate investors ('Japan Inc.'), we combine expertise in technology-assessment with access to an unrivalled network of blue-chip corporations eager to work closely with entrepreneurs. At Mobile Internet Capital we combine the pragmatism of Silicon Valley financial infrastructure, with the technical know-how and marketing muscle of Japanese big business.
