Dual Bridge Capital

Dual Bridge Capital is a venture capital investment firm based in Tokyo, Japan, that focuses on identifying and developing corporate managers across multiple generations and diverse industries. The organization operates a traditional venture capital business model, raising capital from limited partners to deploy into early-stage portfolio companies while generating financial returns through long-term equity appreciation and strategic exits. Although specific assets under management and employee counts remain undisclosed, the firm recently achieved an operational milestone by successfully closing its first primary investment vehicle, Dual Bridge Capital Fund I, in December 2024. The core investment team includes key personnel such as capitalist and financial planning director Daisuke Nakazawa alongside associate Ayaka Sugiyama, who collaborate to execute the broad sector investment mandate. Dual Bridge Capital was officially founded in 2023 by co-founders Shun Ito and Shusuke Terada.
