Tomohiro Tange brings an unusually broad background to venture investing, combining a U.S. business education from USC Marshall with a decade at INCJ where he worked across direct investments, overseas M&A, corporate carve-outs, and fund-of-funds investing—a breadth of experience that's uncommon for a single investor. As CIO and Board Member of JIC Venture Growth Investments since its 2020 establishment, he operates at the intersection of government-backed capital and startup innovation, with a mandate to back companies that both scale commercially and contribute to Japan's industrial competitiveness and social priorities.
