for Venture Capital

Starting with asset owners’ growing interest in impact, impact is entering the scope of startup investment in a variety of contexts and intensities, including value enhancement, investment strategy, and maximization of existence value as a fund.

Fund Level IMM

In managing the fund, we will establish and provide processes and functions that comply with the Operating Principles of Impact Management.

Fund Level IMM

We will establish and provide a flow and structure for implementing fund-level impact management in an integrated and sustainable manner with investment activities.

Fund Impact Measurement

Visualize and quantify the social value (impact) created by the fund through the investee, and use it for external disclosure, PR, and various decision making.

Investment Report

We support the planning, information gathering, and production of management reports, sustainability reports, and impact reports in accordance with the dialogue plans with LPs and other stakeholders.

Due Diligence

We provide the necessary processes and functions to investees in terms of impact and ESG to realize their investment hypotheses when executing impact investments in VC investments.

Impact / ESG DD

By determining the robustness and suitability of investment projects from impact and ESG perspectives, we support implementation decisions that meet the needs of investors and stakeholders.

IMM of Portfolios

Establish an internal flow and system to link diverse initiatives at portfolio companies to the value creation story and manage them in an integrated and sustainable manner.

Impact Measurement of Portfolios

Visualize and quantify the social value (impact) created by the portfolio company’s businesses and initiatives, and use this information for external disclosure and PR, as well as for internal decision making regarding business and investment.

Monitoring / Engagement

During the impact investment phase of a VC investment, we provide the necessary processes and functions to investees from an impact and ESG perspective in order to increase value and accelerate growth.

Impact Report of Portfolios

We support the planning, information gathering, and production of integrated reports, sustainability reports, and impact reports that are tailored to stakeholder dialogue plans and that are particularly aware of stories from the investor’s perspective.

Investment Strategy

Based on the business seeds such as technologies possessed by the investee, we determine whether there are enough business opportunities from the perspective of solving social issues and creating impact, and link them to the most appropriate business strategy.

Branding / PR of Portfolios

Visualize and quantify the economic and social significance of a company, business, product, service, etc., and appeal to customers, consumers, and other stakeholders in an effective manner.

ESG

We will consider flexible responses to ESG issues, which are increasingly requested by investors as companies grow, in accordance with the company’s stage, size, and business form.

Finance / Exit

We provide storytelling and growth support before and after additional procurement for VC investments, IPOs, M&As, and other exits, from an impact perspective that contributes to maximizing the corporate value of investee companies.

Impact IPO / M&A

We provide comprehensive support for impact evaluation and ongoing development of impact management systems to enable portfolio companies to realize impact IPOs.

Equity Story

By visualizing and quantifying the impact created through the portfolio company’s business and integrating it with the business plan, we build a more complete corporate growth story.

Responsible Exit DD

As an investor who has promoted impact investing in IPOs and M&A, we will evaluate whether the event will contribute to the future growth of the investee and, by extension, to the creation of greater impact.

Features

Alignment for Standards

The design of IMPACTLAKE and the functions provided by impactlake™ are based on the Operating Principles for Impact Management, an international framework that enables the establishment of the relevant processes without having to develop them from scratch. The process can be established without having to start from scratch.

Powered by Specified AI

One of the challenges in the highly individualized impact area was workload and time. We maximize accessibility to impact management not only through past knowledge and manual assistance, but also through digital solutions such as impactlake™.

Fund / Portfolio level IMM

By utilizing and implementing a generic model that enables quantification and integrated management, IMM connectivity between funds and investees can be realized to create impact at the fund level. Disclosure of information from investees and investment projects can also be done within the tool, further minimizing administrative man-hours.

The company’s framework and tools, which were designed for general use at the fund level, have allowed us to complete evaluations in as little as 1-2 weeks and streamline communication with portfolio companies, thereby expanding the scope of strategic use, rather than symbolic use.
