About “ALL STAGES”

Open Network Lab

Bootstrap to Early Stage

Onlab’s Seed Accelerator Program is an intensive, three-month program designed for highly skilled and ambitious entrepreneurs. Based in Tokyo, the program supports startups through funding, office space, and other related facilities along with a highly specialized group of mentors that provides business support. As the oldest accelerator program in Japan, Onlab has identified patterns that lead to startup failures, and insights and case studies that lead to growth and success.

DG Ventures

Early To Late Stage

DGV provides risk money to unlisted private companies with high growth potential mainly in the Internet field. Our company invests using its own funds, not as a fund. Therefore, this investing style allows flexible funding without restrictions on the period, stage, nationality, etc.
