Global Brain has invested in Japan M&A Incubation Inc. (JMAI), a company that supports the realization of inorganic corporate growth driven by M&A, through its Global Brain Flagship Fund IX as the lead investor. The Japanese M&A market continues to break all-time highs in both the number of deals and the value, and the market structure is also changing due to factors including business succession needs and M&A being adopted as an exit strategy for startups and a growth strategy for large and medium-sized companies. JMAI supports small and medium-sized M&As, which are at the center of this structural change, and goes beyond being a financial advisor and brokerage to provide comprehensive support from strategy formulation to PMI. With the fund raised this time, JMAI aims to build an AI-powered and accessible platform that aggregates highly advanced and individual expertise held by professional firm personnel to further strengthen the support for startups’ M&A activities. Global Brain has decided to invest in JMAI because of the attractive market environment and JMAI’s exceptional management team with experience in strategic consulting, investment banking, and PE. Through this investment, Global Brain will actively support JMAI to contribute to its business growth.
