LUCA Ltd., is developing a digital platform for alternative investment, including but not limited to private equity, real estate, hedge funds, and private credit. They are committed to providing world-class investment opportunities with simple and efficient solutions for broader investors in Japan and beyond. Investment in private equity requires education and a heavy subscription process, leading to laborious and administrative work, hence making the capital raising process slow and challenging. Digitalization of the process has been promoted globally in recent years to enhance this process, which could lead to a transformational change in the fundraising landscape in Japan.

"The world is becoming more borderless with digital technology. We believe the latest innovation will enhance efficiency in alternative investment processes and scalability of capital raising," says CEO Keiko Sydenham. "I am excited to lead LUCA Ltd., with experienced co-founders and to propose better investors' experience in attractive investment opportunities."
