About This Fund
Granite Integral Investments is a joint venture investment fund established in March 2025 through a strategic partnership between Granite Asia, a multi-asset investment platform with deep connectivity across Asia's technology and private equity ecosystems, and Integral Corporation (TSE: 5842), Japan's publicly listed private equity firm. Integral participates through Integral GlobalTech Partners Corporation, its dedicated technology growth investment arm. The fund launched with USD 100 million in initial committed capital, contributed equally by both partners, targeting high-growth technology companies with a Japan market nexus.
The fund's investment strategy is built around facilitating two-way cross-border technology growth between Japan and global markets. On the inbound side, Granite Integral Investments provides capital and market-entry support to high-growth global technology companies seeking to enter, localize, and scale within Japan — one of the world's largest and most sophisticated enterprise markets. On the outbound side, the fund backs Japanese companies aiming to expand internationally into Southeast Asia and other high-growth markets, drawing on Integral Corporation's renowned operational value creation capabilities and Granite Asia's global ecosystem connectivity. Target sectors include enterprise software, automation, and advanced technology companies at the growth and expansion stage.
The fund is co-headed by CK Choun, Head of Integral GlobalTech Partners Corporation, and Joe Yan, Operating Partner at Granite Asia, with strategic oversight from Jixun Foo, Senior Managing Partner of Granite Asia, and Reijiro Yamamoto, Founding Partner and Representative Director of Integral Corporation. The structure reflects both partners' conviction that Japan's integration with global technology markets represents one of the most significant underexplored opportunities in private markets, and seeks to be the bridge capital vehicle connecting world-class companies with Japan's institutional buyers and distribution networks.
