Geodesic Capital

Geodesic Capital invests in multi-stage technology companies and positions itself as offering strategic guidance and access to Asian markets, beginning with Japan. Beyond capital, the firm says it helps portfolio companies build a local footprint, citing work with Databricks, Figma and Netskope as they entered Japan. For Databricks, the firm describes facilitating introductions at its annual Geodesic Forum in Tokyo and helping build a local team; for Figma, supporting its market-entry strategy and the hiring of a Japan country manager; and for Netskope, helping it build product, people and channel investment ahead of rising demand for cloud security in Japan during the pandemic period.
