What is Beyond Next Ventures (BNV)?

We are a venture capital that aims to solve social issues and realize a better future by commercializing research seeds of universities and research institutes.
With the mission of “creating a society with outstanding challengers”, we will work with entrepreneurs from the technology seeds stage to commercialize in collaboration with universities, experts, business companies, government agencies, and invest and invest as a VC. Accelerate the growth of R&D startups through management support.

We have managed a total of 22 billion yen in funds, and have invested in 74 startups in Japan and overseas, mainly in the areas of drug discovery/biotechnology, medical equipment/healthcare, and agri/food.
Currently, we have a track record of exiting 2 IPO companies (QD Laser, Susmed) and 5 M&A companies (Exmedio, Repertoire Genesis, etc.), and through our acceleration program BRAVE, we have supported the founding of more than 50 companies.

I am looking forward to working with entrepreneurs and researchers who have the will and enthusiasm to take on the challenge of creating a better world through the commercialization of research seeds!
