We hope that MTU will become an indispensable partner for hospitals and clinics across the country to appropriately manage and utilize important information. I was attracted by the active business driving force of the MTU team, which is breaking into a closed industry, and decided to invest. We will fully utilize D4V’s product design knowledge and network with the healthcare industry to support MTU’s challenges.

We have high expectations for Mr. Hara’s big challenge, as he is not completely satisfied with his two sales. Iceblue Fund Limited Liability Partnership

“I want to contribute to the lives of as many people as possible” and “I want to maximize the healthy life expectancy of people all over the world.” We have a mission vision that is so grand that we hesitate to commit to it, but which is clearly needed by the world. I was impressed by the attitude with which they were holding it up and running with all their might.
Also, you say that your strengths are courage and the ability to break through, but even though you have a career that includes receiving an MVP award at the world’s number one pharmaceutical company, and have received MA twice, you are completely satisfied with the current situation. I was also moved by the way they worked single-mindedly (wearing T-shirts and hoodies with the company logo on them) with a greedy, greedy desire to improve.
I believe that CEO Hara and the reassuring team members gathered under him will be able to make this ideal a reality, so I have asked for their support and investment.
I look forward to the future we can create together.
(Details about our mission and vision are also posted on our blog, so please take a look.)

We are very happy to have decided to invest in MTU. We believe that MTU’s technology and vision have the potential to become a true game changer in the medical industry. Due to the complexity and high barriers to entry in the medical field, many companies are currently taking on the challenge but have not been able to produce truly groundbreaking results. However, I strongly believe that MTU and its passionate team can overcome this challenge and create new value for the medical industry.
President Hara and other MTU members have faced many challenges with their expertise and passion. Their strong vision and execution ability will be the driving force behind innovative change in this industry. Through our investment, we are confident that together with MTU we can improve the quality of medical care and bring real value to people’s lives.
