Rising Expo

 

Cyber Agent Ventures has been actively expanding its portfolio of startup investments across Asia and due to their physical networks and offices on the ground around Asia have emerged as a powerful force catalysing the growth of the Asia-wide startup ecosystem.

Their annual flagship event will be returning home to Tokyo on August 8th, after touch-downs in South East Asia, Seoul and China. RISING EXPO is looking for startups who aspire to become the next-generation of successful Internet businesses in Asia. The next step after validating product-market fit with strong traction is fundraising and sponsorship to accelerate their growth. RISING EXPO provides these opportunities for start-up companies that have passed the pre-screening selection process.

Already Cyber Agent Ventures has invested in a number of high profile as well as up and coming startups. These include (from Korea) Kakao Talk, Korea's top messaging app, Baedal Minjeok, Korea's top food delivery service and most recently KimGisa, arguably the best map and navigation app in Korea. What all these comapnies have in common is a fierce drive to enter markets in Asia beyond their domestic borders. And what Cyber Agent is able to offer these companies beyond finance is a helping hand at both strategic and practical levels, to succeed in their regional strategies.
