Overview

What they do
Archetype Digital was established by Satoshi Nozaki to act as a bridge between the Silicon Valley innovation ecosystem and Japanese enterprise markets. Positioned as an emerging startup studio, the firm has a dual mandate: incubating its own in-house technology products and deploying angel/seed capital into promising external startups. They are distinctive for their deep ties to Archetype Ventures, a prominent Japanese B2B venture capital firm, allowing them to facilitate strategic partnerships and international expansion for their portfolio. Their stated 10-year goal is to build or help create over 100 companies.
