About Spiral Ventures
Our former entity “IMJ Investment Partners” was established in 2012 by IMJ Corporation (“IMJ”), a major digital marketing company, as an independent venture capital subsidiary in Japan. After IMJ was acquired by Culture Convenience Club (“CCC”) in 2013, we continued our investment activities independently, and eventually relocated our office toSingapore to change our strategy and start a venture capital fund for the Southeast Asia market. In 2015, we established the Japan office and started a venture capital fund for the Japanese market.In tandem with the expansion of our business, we left the CCC Group, changed our name to “Spiral Ventures” in 2017, and made a fresh start as an independent venture capital firm.taken from https://spiral-ventures.com/en/group-info/
