Review on SMBC Venture Capital by Alejandro Diego

SMBC Venture Capital is a venture capital company established for more than 20 years, investing from a long-term perspective. As a member of Sumitomo Mitsui Financial Group, a comprehensive financial group, they provide support according to the growth stage of the venture to be supported.



They offer an investment proposal that is maintained over time, regardless of the type of business or stage the company is in, current economic trends and market conditions. Thus, it supports the management of investee companies, working together with them in search of improving their corporate value. SMBC Venture Capital provides funds to growing companies that aim to improve people's lives and solve social problems.



Their way of working is based on building relationships of trust with the management and management team of the projects, and they use the SMBC network to empower investee companies and close the gap with large companies.



With points of contact and joint work with several of the so-called large companies that support and bet on new ventures, such as audit firms, securities companies and other investors, and support through the use of these contact networks.



One of the salient points of their proposal is the support they provide to enterprises so that they can develop their human resources and improve the quality and training of specialists.

One of the points that surprised me the most, and in a positive way, was that its website differed from the rest in the precision and order of the information it shared. One can read and know, from the managers, including the organization chart and functions, the foundations on which they are based to carry out the work, and a seriousness and decision is perceived that in other cases I have not been able to perceive in this way.



His ultimate goal is to create a bright future with entrepreneurs with surprising ideas and new technologies. They also commit to continue working on developing "ties" with entrepreneurs.
