AET Fund, Akatsuki Entertainment Technology Fund, advancing the Frontier of Entertainment. It is a venture capital fund specializing in the intersection of entertainment and technology. Through the creation of new entertainment, we are aiming to realize a world where people everywhere can find experiences that move them and become happier for it.
 
Our target investment area covers all forms of entertainment. The fund actively invests in new forms of entertainment such as streaming services, voice assist, the gamification of existing industries and spreads beyond the bounds of conventional categories such as games, music, sports, beauty and fitness. We openly engage with all businesses that deliver emotional experiences.

In addition, our focus will be global. Beyond Japan, we will continue to invest heavily in the United States, the home of entertainment, and Asia, where entertainment consumption is expected to accelerate in the future.

The following six values guide our investments:

1. Partnership-driven: We will vigorously support founders
2. Integrity: We will earnestly engage with founders
3. Forward-looking: We will act with a vision for new entertainment
4. Impactful: We will greatly impact the world together with founders
5. Risk-taking: We will actively take risks towards an uncertain future
6. Curiosity: We will be constantly curious about changes in the world and new industries

We support startups that share these values, and hope that together we will move our world forward. Let us work together to create new entertainment that colors the lives of people around the world.
