Backing Pioneers to Breakthrough Global Markets

Sozo has helped us accelerate our mission to ‘deliver happiness’ in Japan.

Sozo Ventures has helped make our mission possible in Japan. Not only by introducing us to top management of key customers in our requested domains, but also providing incredible support that any company would desire when entering a new market. We are very grateful to have Sozo as a partner.

Sozo has been a true partner with One Concern in Japan, providing unparalleled market access and insights. Sozo fully backs our mission of global resilience.

Sozo introduced and assisted in securing our largest international distribution deal before they invested. Sozo has also played a key role in introducing our local team to strategic partners and key executives that helped define our growth strategy.

Sozo jumped in to help with us before we even discussed investment, helping to make customer introductions, introducing our country manager, and more.

Sozo has been a long term partner adding value to Fastly before and after their investment. Sozo helped us lay the foundation in Japan.

The Sozo team has felt like an extension of Neurotrack since our very first meeting, and now we’ve signed multiple strategic customers and partnerships with their support. 

Sozo has helped us understand how to navigate the business environment in Japan … Since we began our relationship with the Sozo, we’ve increased headcount of our Japan team by 4x, and Japan has become one of Opower’s largest growth markets in the world.

…So I think for a technology like blockchain, that’s a global technology, you’re going to want to be a global company. And so having the right partners internationally is a pretty sound strategy. This made Sozo the logical co-investment partner in Coinbase.
