Keisuke Wada co-founded Incubate Fund after starting his own seed-focused VC firm in 2007, and he has stayed deeply hands-on ever since, running programs like Incubate Camp and the Fellows Program while even helping found companies directly, such as Kiheitai, the parent of Airfunding. He's known for backing founders early in areas like crypto and gaming, including Coincheck, bitFlyer, and gumi, and for believing in entrepreneurs before the rest of the market catches on, a track record that helped Forbes Japan rank him 10th among the country's most influential venture investors in 2024.
