Japanese chemical and life science company Denka established a $100M fund in partnership with venture capital firm Pegasus Tech Ventures.  Denka is the only limited partner in the fund. The fund will target early and late-stage startups in renewable energy, battery tech, chips, and health tech sectors.  Denka established the fund to advance its 2030 mission of addressing global issues such as sustainability and population growth.  The fund will invest between $500,000 to $1M in early-stage startups and between $2M to $10M in late-stage firms.  Pegasus CEO Anis Uzzaman and partners Bill Reichert, Steve Payne, John Lim, and Justin Jackson will oversee the operations of this fund.  Since 2011, major corporations — including Sega, Asus, Bandai Namco, and Aisin — across the U.S., Europe, Japan, Taiwan, and Indonesia have partnered with Pegasus to launch 30 strategic funds or CVC funds.  Pegasus' "VC-as-a-service" model has helped the firm back 250 startups.  It now has over $2B in assets under management (AUM).
