ff Red & White was established in 2023 as a joint partnership between ff Venture Capital and JBIC IG Partners, with the aim of helping European early-stage startups scale globally.



Our family: 

→ ff Venture Capital - One of the most engaging technology venture capital firms in New York
→ JBIC IG Partners - a Japanese investment firm backed
by Japan Bank for International Cooperation



Partnership with Japanese enterprises:
ff Red & White is backed by a group of Japanese corporates from a wide range of industries.

With deep roots in Japan and the US, we are committed
to supporting founders expanding into the US and Asian markets.

Our value goes beyond capital —
We leverage our cross-border expertise and networks
to help our portfolio companies connect with customers, secure investors, and grow effectively.

We strongly believe in the potential synergies between Central European startups and Japanese enterprises.

Japan faces social challenges such as a hyper-aging society, labor shortages, and low productivity, driving a constant search for innovative solutions.

European startups

are seeking large test markets
to pilot and refine their products.

We partner with early-stage founders from Central Europe.



Why Central Europe?
→ The fastest growing region for VC funding in Europe
→ Strong supply of AI and software engineering talent with international potential
