<Jon Soberg’s comment>
It is a true honor for MS&AD Ventures to be selected for the GCV Powerlist for the 5th year of our 6 years in existence. GCV says this puts us in the top 1% of CVCs, and this is a result of the tireless efforts of our team, both the current members and all of the team members from the past who helped to build the foundation. We also are very grateful for the unwavering support from MS&AD Group and all of our business units. We are measured on our strategic and financial results, so this is an award for the entire organization. This year we were awarded the special 5 Star award for making the list 5 times, and we are very humbled by that award.
