In 2000, Koichi Hori founded DI based on the corporate philosophy of “creating 100 companies like Sony and Honda.” Focusing on Japan’s low entrepreneurship rate, a factor behind the stagnation of the Japanese economy, DI has developed investment and incubation with the aim of supporting the growth of venture companies and developing next-generation leaders. Based on the knowledge it has cultivated since its founding, in recent years DI has set its mission as “Create Businesses and Change Societies.” With Business Producing as its differentiating factor, DI has continued taking on the challenge of transforming Japanese companies and society, centered on support for creating businesses on the scale of hundreds of billions of yen, while also working on reforming existing businesses and solving management issues through the use of technology.
