UntroD Capital

To conquer the unexplored, that's what we have decided to do. Unexplored areas where boundaries have not yet been tested. Unexplored realms that hold endless possibilities.

Before the term "deep tech" existed, we coined the term "real tech" to describe innovative technologies that contribute to solving societal and environmental challenges. We took a first step into the untrodden domain of investing in R&D-oriented startups to create impact. A decade later, our society has discovered the potential for new industries in deep tech, and capital and talent have started flowing in. This flow created by pioneering uncharted territories has grown into a significant wave that brings about societal transformation.

We continue to tackle two types of "uncharted" territories. The first is in fields that are scientifically, technologically, and physically difficult to reach. The second is where social and cultural situations or bias make it challenging to step into. We will navigate these two territories with our principles and the power of the "3 Ds" .

Established in 2015, the “Real Tech Funds” aim to catalyze the social implementation of deep tech solutions that contribute to solving global and human challenges. We have been making lead investments and providing hands-on support to seed and early-stage startups. To date, we have managed Real Tech Fund 1-4 (Japan Fund), Real Tech Global Fund 1-2 (Global Fund), and Real Tech Growth Fund 1 (Japan Fund), with total assets under management exceeding 30 billion Japanese yen.

Our goal is to be the first to step into uncharted territories that addresses society needs but where capital finds it difficult to flow into, and, by proving their economic viability, create a sustainable mechanism that continuously supplies capital and human resources.
