Investment Thesis

DEEPCORE is an AI-specialized venture capital firm that targets early-stage, technology-driven startups (seed to Series A) working in advanced technical fields. The firm combines capital with hands-on operational support, community/accelerator programs (e.g., KERNEL, SYNCLE), and global ambition to back companies that “産業構造を変え社会課題を解決するスタートアップを支援します” — i.e., startups that transform industries (manufacturing, healthcare, retail, logistics, etc.) and address social challenges. Their process is designed to be fast (“2週間〜4週間が目安です” for investment decision) and they actively consider follow-on investments and overseas-founded teams.

Focus statement

Value Add

AI-specialized VC: explicitly describes itself as "DEEPCOREは、AI特化型のベンチャーキャピタルです。"
Integrated ecosystem support: operates community and incubation programs (KERNEL Incubation Community), runs accelerator programs and practical cohorts like "SYNCLE" to support founders beyond capital.
Hands-on, operational support: provides domain support across fundraising, sales, global expansion, talent acquisition, IP, and back-office.
Global and follow-on friendly: explicitly states it "海外を拠点とするスタートアップへの投資も積極的に実施いたします" and that it "積極的に追加投資を検討・実施いたします。"
Fast decision timeline: targets a quick investment review to execution window ("2週間〜4週間が目安です").
Stage-focused but flexible on technology: primarily seed→Series A but will consider businesses without AI if the problem and technical approach are compelling.
