Description
Abies Ventures is a venture capital firm centered on 'deep tech for deep issues,' focused on identifying and nurturing deep tech startups primarily in Japan and the US that can address world-scale challenges such as environmental degradation, food shortages, and labor shortages—issues that traditional IT alone cannot solve.

It provides portfolio companies with access to a global network of conglomerates, large corporations, accelerators, government agencies, and research institutions to help them reach the best resources for finance, market, and technology. Its team is composed of mega-venture founders, experienced investors in domestic and international mega-ventures, and former management of blue-chip companies, offering advice on business strategy and capital policy as well as connections to overseas companies and investors. The firm's portfolio spans a broad range of industries combining deep tech and data science, with recent investments including A-Star Quantum, Pixie Dust Technologies, and Solaris.
