JVCA Japan Venture Capital Association - Japan Venture Capital Association JVCA

Greeting

	Since its launch in November 2002 with 70 starting members (companies and individuals), JVCA has exerted to attain its initial purpose of strengthening the role of reciprocal collaboration and venture business cultivation in the VC industry. Ever since, we have been proactive in researching industrialization in overseas countries, offering courses for development of VCs, drafting proposals and requisitions concerned with amendments in securities-related laws and finance-related taxations to the relevant government agencies. As a result, and with the addition of new members who assent to the purposes of the Association, JVCA now has over a hundred members. Japan is seeing a rapid growth in the number of venture corporations, which are expected to play an ever-greater role in the society. Our goal, therefore, is to adequately provide funding to the entrepreneur and business interests, and measure up to the expectations in terms of quality of performance for the investors, and thereby contribute to the overall expansivity of the Japanese financial economy in the coming generations. And we are aiming to take positive steps to fulfill this mission. We ask for your continued support and patronage to JVCA. July 2009 Masatoshi Go Chairman Japan Venture Capital Association
