Overview

Our company was established as a spin-out from the consulting division of Samurai Incubate Inc., an independent VC, specializing in innovation support for major corporations and local governments. We have a wealth of experience in incubation and open innovation in new business development with large corporations, higher education institutions such as universities, and municipal governments.
In supporting higher education institutions, we have implemented everything from seed discovery through open innovation-based PoC (Proof of Concept) demonstrations. In particular, we have closely collaborated with researchers and entrepreneurs from the initial idea stage through funding acquisition and prototype development, providing educational support as well as practical service support, offering effective assistance. Furthermore, for projects aiming to balance technological innovation with commercialization, we have provided concrete and practical advice, showing the best paths to accelerate the commercialization process.

Initiative details

By combining four support menus, we will achieve the business vision of “showcasing the support model for university-based life science startups.”
(1) Establishment of a GAP fund program: Establish a GAP fund program in the form of an accelerator program, and support incubation by providing selected startups with funds for project verification and mentoring support.
(2) Seed search and accompaniment support: Create a long list in cooperation with implementing entities with the goal of creating use cases within the project period and building a system that enables independent exploration and development over the long term.
(3) Holding seminars for entrepreneurial support personnel: Share common characteristics and issues among university-based startups in the life science field, and share knowledge unique to each field.
(4) Formulation of intellectual property strategy: Promote the formulation of detailed intellectual property strategies from the initial stage and the utilization of funds based on them.
