Usually American VC’s will not fund overseas unless they have a presence there. It is hard enough to work with local entrepreneurs, local laws, local competition, etc. But then looking to fund somewhere else only adds to the risk and the complexity of board meetings, etc. You can look for VC’s that have a track record of investing in Japan. Obviously ones like Softbank have invested on both sides of the Ocean. There are also funds that have US presence with “Asia” teams like Steamboat. Good luck!

Are there many US VC’s that will consider funding a company overseas? I am an American living in Japan and am researching what I need to do for a start-up in Japan. I am curious if American based VC’s are possible investor options to consider as well.

Thank you..

Thank Mark!

I’m very confident in our “fundability”. That said, my team and I are taking all necessary steps to perfect our product before we seek funding and legal council.

Will keep you posted.

All the best,
