Archetype Ventures is an independent venture capital firm specializing in the B2B sector. We primarily invest in startups at the "Seed Plus" stage—those that have a product but are pre-revenue. Centered on bi-weekly regular meetings, we provide practical, hands-on support for multifaceted challenges, including sales, fundraising, hiring, and public relations. Our team is composed of members with a strong passion and deep experience in launching businesses—such as former entrepreneurs and early startup employees—and we are dedicated to rolling up our sleeves and working alongside founders to fuel their growth.
We believe that entrepreneurs who have a product but are in the most uncertain stage before profitability need essential support. With both a management and on-the-job perspective, we are adept at carefully working with entrepreneurs to find the optimal solution for each situation. Through this program, we hope to encourage entrepreneurs to take on new challenges and help connect Japan's industries to the future.
