ABOUT US

We specialize in cross-border M&A advisory services between Japan and Southeast Asia, acting as a strategic partner to support corporate growth. Our slogan, “Crossing Borders, Unlocking New Growth,” embodies our commitment to not just market expansion, but also to fostering innovation and value creation through collaboration between Japan and Southeast Asia.

For Japanese companies, Southeast Asia serves as a critical hub for sustainable growth. Conversely, partnerships with Japanese enterprises open the door to transformation and development for local companies. Through trust-based M&A, we maximize the strengths of both regions to achieve lasting, sustainable growth.

As a venture capitalist operating in Southeast Asia, I work with partners who have extensive experience with successful startup exits and deep expertise in the technology sector. Startups in Southeast Asia play a pivotal role in solving social challenges and driving industrial development, serving as indispensable forces in addressing regional issues. In today’s business landscape, the boundaries between digital innovation and traditional industries are disappearing. Companies are integrating technology and collaborating with startups to achieve business expansion. Capturing this opportunity in Southeast Asia is a vital step toward accelerated growth and the creation of new value.

We emphasize a culturally sensitive and trust-based approach. At ASEAN M&A Partners, we view M&A as more than a mere transaction; it is a partnership that paves the way for a shared future. This enables Southeast Asian companies to achieve new milestones while empowering Japanese enterprises to scale to even greater heights.

Amid the challenges of crossing borders, we are committed to being the most reliable partner for businesses seeking to build innovative growth models and unlock new possibilities for the future.
