Grow

To support its business creation efforts, Moon may make investments and/​or forge strategic partnerships with startups and other corporations. These investments help to foster innovation in new products, services, business models and global expansion of new businesses.

What kinds of startups does Moon invest in?

Unlike other incubators, accelerators, or ​investors, Moon has a diverse group of talent that can think creatively through a challenge or a new opportunity. We bring that innovative thought process to bear in our investment decisions.
We also only invest in companies that we may partner with to create new business opportunities.  

We are interested in innovative early to growth stage startups in all industries, but have particular focus in the below areas:

  • Healthcare x AI 
  • Next Generation Families (Wellness and FinTech)
  • Circularity/Sustainability 
  • Pet Wellness 

We are especially interested in new businesses that:

  • Add synergistic value to our existing portfolio and with the wider Mitsui Group.
  • Want to expand their geographic reach, especially from the U.S. to Japan/Asia-Pacific region and Japan/Asia-Pacific region to the U.S. 
  • Need hands-on support from designers, engineers, product experts, and marketers to advance their business.
