Geodesic Capital

Geodesic Capital is a venture capital firm that bridges Silicon Valley innovation with Japanese market opportunities. Founded in 2015 by former U.S. Ambassador to Japan John Roos and venture investor Ashvin Bachireddy, the firm specializes in supporting U.S.-based technology companies aiming to expand into Asia, particularly Japan. With deep roots in both regions, Geodesic offers strategic guidance and capital to help startups navigate international growth.

The firm's investment strategy focuses on mid-to-late-stage technology companies across sectors such as artificial intelligence, enterprise software, cybersecurity, and fintech. Geodesic provides more than just funding; it offers access to a network of senior executives, partners, and government officials, facilitating market entry and expansion in Asia. This holistic approach ensures that portfolio companies are well-equipped to succeed in new markets.

In 2025, Geodesic launched the $250 million Geodesic Alliance Fund, aimed at strengthening the U.S.-Japan alliance by investing in early-stage startups developing technologies relevant to national security, including AI, space, and robotics. Backed by Japanese government entities and leading corporations, the fund underscores Geodesic's commitment to fostering innovation that benefits both nations.
