Venture capitalist Anis Uzzaman has a special affinity for Japan, where he spent five years studying at a university on government scholarships. It¡¯s for that reason he is frustrated to see many Japanese firms struggling in global competition.
¡°When I became a VC, I really wanted to help Japan and Japanese corporations,¡± Uzzaman, CEO of Silicon Valley-based Fenox Venture Capital, said in a recent interview with The Japan Times in Tokyo.
His firm now invests in a number of Japanese ventures, including DLE Inc., a flash anime maker best known for its animation ¡°Himitsu Kessha Takanotsume¡± (¡°Eagle Talon¡°), and Terra Motors Corp., which is Japan¡¯s biggest electric motorcycle maker.
