We invest in visionary founders solving real-world problems with scalable tech, focusing on Seed to Series A rounds.

What Matters
KeiretsuX looks for startups led by strong, execution-focused founders with deep domain expertise and a clear passion for solving real problems. They prioritize businesses with a large addressable market, validated product-market fit, and early traction. Startups should offer disruptive, tech-driven solutions with clear differentiation and defensibility, ideally through unique IP or innovation. The business model must be scalable with sound unit economics, and there should be visible pathways to exit—whether through acquisition, IPO, or secondary sales. KeiretsuX also seeks alignment with its core focus areas such as AI, FinTech, HealthTech, Cybersecurity, EdTech, and GreenTech. Just as important is the founder’s openness to feedback and collaboration, as KeiretsuX sees itself as a long-term partner in the venture-building journey.
