Israel-based Online investment platform OurCrowd has scored $60m through an investment from Japanese financial services group ORIX Corporation.
As part of the investment, OurCrowd will supply ORIX with access to its technology. The companies will work together to build financial products and investment opportunities for the Japanese and global markets.
This will include curated access to both venture capital funds and individual portfolio companies.
Their partnership will also increase the cooperation between the two countries and improve opportunities for Israeli startups across Asia.
ORIX UK CEO Kiyoshi Habiro said, “We are excited about investing in OurCrowd, Israel’s most active venture investor and one of the world’s most innovative venture capital platforms. We intend to be active partners with OurCrowd and help them accelerate their already impressive growth, while bringing the best of Israeli tech to Japan’s large industrial and financial sectors.”
The OurCrowd platform enables around 60,000 registered investors from 183 countries to invest and build portfolios.
