I started a venture business when I was a university student, and it was so successful that it is now listed on the Tokyo Stock Market and business is now expanding worldwide because an "angel" has saved us whenever we have run into a crisis along the way.

It is my wish to support as much as possible the new venture businesses for the 21st century as one of the "angels" this time.

I am very happy to see the previous fragmentary venture support system in Japan being consolidated into this organization that networks nationwide, after the "Law for Facilitaing the Creation of New Business" was enacted.

It has been said that Japan's unique climate makes it difficult to cultivate venture businesses, but I think we will contribute to construct a new system to invigorate and create new businesses with affluent of funds, and the research and development findings that have not yet fully been utilized.

I understand that each country has its own social and economic environment, but we hope to shareour experiences and to move forward by seeking the possibility of mutual cooperation.
