Today, Beyond Next Ventures celebrates its 10th anniversary!

We hosted a special 10th-anniversary event at the National Museum of Emerging Science and Innovation (Miraikan) in Tokyo, a renowned science museum.

The event was attended by approximately 500 guests, including our valued stakeholders and their families.

We organized 10 exciting activities, including an art project, 10 of traditional Japanese summer festival stalls (foods, drinks and games for kids), and panel discussions.

We were also honored to welcome the founders of our Indian portfolio companies, along with their families. In a panel discussion titled "Understanding the Strength of India," facilitated by Yuichiro Sano, Head of India Investment, we had the privilege of hearing from Sateesh, Founder of BigHaat, and Ganesh, Founder of Myelin Foundry.

As we mark this milestone, we’re gearing up for the next decade of innovation, impact, and creating the beyond next society with exceptional challengers.
