Finance Produce Co., Ltd.
With the mission of "producing financing to create businesses that change society," we are an investment banking company specializing in startup entrepreneurs, established through a new business carve-out and management buyout (MBO) from Dream Incubator.
In particular, we focus on the core theme of "increasing the scale and quality of startup M&A," which can be said to be a bottleneck in Japan's startup industry. We provide M&A advice as a sell-side financial adviser to startup entrepreneurs, mainly in the growth stage such as Series B and beyond, as well as advice on capital policy and fundraising for large-scale IPOs.
