Silicon Valley has evolved its own unique financial infrastructure, with entrepreneurs, angels, venture capitalists and investment banks coming together organically to produce successful high-tech start-ups. The business environment in Japan is different to that of the United States. In Japan new businesses grow from entrepreneurship within a corporate context, seldom from the solitary efforts of individual entrepreneurs. At Mobile Internet Capital our mission is to nurture successful venture businesses by providing a unique financial infrastructure appropriate to the Japanese environment.
We act as an investor and advisor, providing active managerial and financial support for Japanese ventures. We also act as a local partner, helping overseas companies establish new businesses in the Japanese market. We act, too, as an information hub, using our network to enhance the growth potential of the businesses we invest in by match making with large corporates' IT business expansion requirements, or by establishing new businesses outright. Our investment strategy is based on five principles.
