MPower Partners Fund

MPower Partners Fund is Japan's first ESG-focused global venture capital fund, dedicated to supporting entrepreneurs who leverage technology to address societal challenges. By integrating Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) principles into its investment strategy, the fund aims to promote sustainable growth and positive societal impact. The founding team brings extensive experience from the financial industry and ESG sectors to assist startups in their global expansion and to infuse ESG elements into the broader ecosystem.

The fund primarily invests in growth to late-stage startups, with a focus on sectors such as healthcare, fintech, education, consumer goods, and environmental sustainability. MPower Partners Fund II L.P., launched in May 2025, continues this mission by targeting investments that bolster Japan's national resilience and accelerate long-term growth potential. The fund's diverse investment team leverages unique perspectives and networks to identify promising opportunities both domestically and internationally, contributing to a more inclusive and resilient startup ecosystem.

MPower Partners Fund has a track record of supporting innovative companies like HQ, which transforms employee benefit programs, and JEPLAN, a recycling business aiming to eliminate waste through chemical recycling technology. These investments reflect the fund's commitment to backing ventures that align with its ESG-focused investment philosophy, driving long-term, sustainable growth while addressing pressing societal challenges.
