SBI Shinsei Corporate Investment

Operating as a private equity and venture capital entity within the SBI Group, this firm traces its origins to the Private Equity Department of the former Shinsei Bank in 2002. The business focuses on establishing and managing targeted investment funds, including buyout, business succession, and venture capital funds. Its primary investment strategy centers on domestic Japanese companies, particularly in the IT and deep tech sectors, covering a range from early to later-stage ventures.

The firm's business model involves deploying capital from its funds into a portfolio of over 100 companies to date. Revenue is generated through management fees on its funds and carried interest from successful investments and exits, such as initial public offerings. Beyond financial injection, the firm provides hands-on management support to its portfolio companies. It leverages the extensive resources, solutions, and networks of the broader SBI Group and SBI Shinsei Bank Group to enhance the corporate value and growth prospects of its investees.

Investment decisions are guided by three core themes: transforming existing industries, creating new industries, and solving social issues. The firm maintains a strict policy against associations with antisocial forces to ensure operational integrity.
