In September 2024, taliki, a venture capital firm dedicated to addressing social issues, announced the launch of its second investment fund, 'taliki No. 2 Investment Business Limited Partnership,' with a target size of ¥2 billion and a final close expected in 2025.

Building on its first fund launched in December 2020, which attracted investors like Kyoto Shinkin Bank and SunBridge, taliki's second fund aims to surpass the previous one in scale and broaden its investor base, including new LPs such as Seibu Shinkin Bank and Daiko.

The new fund has already attracted notable investors including Seibu Shinkin Bank, Daiko, JANPIA, and various individual and corporate investors, with plans to invest between ¥1 million and ¥50 million per company.

In its first fund, taliki invested in 17 companies, achieving a TVPI of approximately 1.3 times within three years, focusing on seed and early-stage startups with high social impact and growth potential.

The second fund will target critical social issues such as declining birthrates, aging populations, regional revitalization, minority support, poverty, violence, disaster prevention, and public health, aiming to create impact through both funding and business development support.

Taliki's overarching mission is to reduce preventable deaths and suffering by supporting impact startups through impact investments, incubation programs, open innovation, and think tank activities, guiding companies from pre-foundation stages onward.

To foster a collaborative ecosystem, taliki is organizing 'BEYOND2025' in October, a conference designed to bring together investees, government entities, and large corporations to promote impact investment.
