A small holding company based in Tokyo. We own shares in unique global businesses, back early-stage founders, manage short-term rental properties, and work hands-on with startups finding product-market fit.
We hold shares in Kamui Whisky K.K. — a craft whisky distillery on Rishiri Island, Japan's northernmost distillery, deep in Hokkaido's remote wilderness. A unique, family-founded business building something genuinely rare.

Small ticket sizes, early stage. We look for genuine problem/founder fit, people who are clearly the right person to be building this exact thing.
We don't invest in decks. We back founders.
We manage a small number of individual short-term rental properties — each one chosen for character rather than scale. Early days, growing slowly and intentionally.
A tool we built and run for Japan-based travellers — compare purchasing power across 150+ global destinations with live exchange rates and real cost-of-living data.
We work directly with founders at the finding-PMF and early-PMF stages — as a fractional Chief Product Officer and go-to-market strategist. Hands-on, not advisory-board distant. If you're trying to figure out what's working, why it's working, and how to do more of it — that's where we operate.
Reach out if you're a founder, a potential partner, or curious about any of the above.
