About Yusuke Amano

Yusuke Amano is a General Partner and joint head of STRIVE, the corporate venturing fund established in 2011 as an offshoot of Japanese technology company GREE, where he previously served as Executive Officer and Head of Business Development. He leads the firm’s investment in Seed-stage Internet and Mobile companies across Asia, reflecting a pan-Asian focus with offices in Tokyo and Singapore. STRIVE typically invests at the Seed stage, though specific check sizes and whether Amano leads or follows are not publicly documented. Notable portfolio companies include MOLCURE, Radiotalk, and Testsigma, all early-stage ventures supported by the firm. Amano helped establish three pan-Asian funds with approximately $400 million in total assets under management since founding STRIVE in 2014. While he was recognized on the 2022 GCV Powerlist alongside Tatsuo Tsutsumi, no distinctive public writing or unique investment philosophy beyond the stated Seed-stage, Asia-focused thesis is verified in available sources.
