Dispatch Startup Spinout Capital is a VC fund in Tokyo focused on Advertising and Digital Signage. 出向起業・スピンアウト起業を「当たり前」の選択肢に日本では、ヒト・モノ・カネのリソースは、大企業に集中する傾向にあります。しかし、大企業の社内では、「本業とのシナジー」「大規模かつ明確な売上高予測」「確実性」「失敗回避」等が求められるため、必ずしもすべての新規事業案を育みやすい環境ではありません。 これを踏まえ、当ファンドでは、社員が大企業等に在籍したまま自ら個人資産・外部資金により起業する「出向起業」や休職・辞職による起業を通じて組成するスタートアップへのシード投資・経営支援・起業準備支援等を行います。 「出向状態でも構わず投資する」方針によるリターンを証明し、これまで着目されなかった「出向状態の起業家」にシード資金を流入させることを目指します。ひいては、トップ層の大企業社員が、所属企業から出向・休職・辞職を通じて起業することが、「当たり前」の選択肢となり、日本発の起業家の数が指数関数的に増加することを目指します。
