Since time is crucial and limited, the company started "Monthly Pitch" ( https://monthly-pitch.com/ ) where early-stage entrepreneurs can quickly meet investors active in Asia, allowing them to spend minimal time on fundraising and concentrate on their business as much as possible.
January 2021 marking the 44th time, CyberAgent Capital has been holding this monthly event since 2016, with 330 companies taking the stage -- making it the largest fundraising event in Japan.
The latest event, which under normal circumstances is held offline, took place online on January 13, 2021, featuring pitches from six Southeast Asian start-ups and meetings between start-ups and investors from all over the world. The previous "Monthly Pitch" was an overseas edition held in Jakarta in 2019.

Comments from start-ups
"CyberAgent Capital put together an impressive and relevant group of investors and industry leaders, who are leaders in their respective fields in Japan and who also have a real interest in deepening their investments in and business expansion to Southeast Asia. The CAC team was an early pioneer into Southeast Asia, and thus has strong knowledge and access to founders via their portfolio companies as well as founders' network. We are excited to strengthen our joint efforts to bring more Japanese partners down as Japan is a key member of the RCEP scheme that contributes significant impact to the Southeast Asian and RCEP regions."
