As a pioneer and innovator in venture capital in Japan for the past 2 decades, we are deeply engaged in developing and supporting entrepreneurs and start-ups by leveraging our strategic position as a conduit between government, business and academia. “WERU” is the first research unit in the field of entrepreneurship in Japan established by professors at the graduate school, Waseda University in 1993.  “WERU Investment” is the first venture capital closely associated with universi... ty research labs, centers and institutes in japan. WERU Investment provides financial services for institutional investors (e.g. Pension funds and Endowments) as a Japanese discretionary investment manager (DIM) by fully taking advantage of these research resources, accumulated know-how and strong network.
