Abstract
Based on the recent focus on startups and policies to promote startups, the number of university startups and VCs investing in them has increased, and the amount of startup funding has also increased. On the other hand, VC investment has entered a phase of selecting startups, as the number of startups available for funding has decreased and the amount raised has varied greatly. This report provides an overview of university startups and VCs, as well as types of funding and how to deal with VCs for those who aim to commercialize their technology through startups in the future. At the end, I introduce the activities of QB Capital investing in university startups mainly in Kyushu.
