Representative partner
Mr. Kotaro Ishibashi
I feel that DX in the Japanese medical industry is an urgent need. On the other hand, I am confident that everyone at MTU will be able to resolve the security risks that will eventually become greater as DX advances.
We sincerely support MTU’s success in realizing a better medical environment in Japan!
United Corporation Investment Division Capitalist
Mr. Akifumi Obata
Cyber security measures have not progressed at each medical institution due to factors such as a lack of IT knowledge, and this has become an urgent issue.
MTU provides solutions suitable for resolving these deep pains, and has already received inquiries from many medical institutions. We were impressed by Mr. Hara’s extensive experience in the medical field, his ambitions, and the blueprint he has for the future, so we decided to invest in him.
We look forward to “maximizing healthy life expectancy through medical x IT services” and look forward to supporting you in the future.

partner
Mr. Fumiaki Nagase
Improving cybersecurity and improving operational efficiency in medical institutions is a major issue that modern society must face. 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.
90s1 Investment Limited Partnership
Representative partner
Mr. Hodaka Kunimoto
It is quite difficult to popularize security cloud services in the medical industry in a short time frame, but I am confident that it can be achieved with Mr. Hara’s strategy and action, which is why I invested this time. 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.” These are grand missions and visions that make people hesitate to commit, but are clearly needed by the world. , I was impressed by the attitude with which they were raising the flag 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.

* Representative Director Mr. Yoshimori Ito*
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 this investment, we are confident that together with MTU we can improve the quality of medical care and bring real value to people’s lives.
