How Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group works with startups

MUFG collaborates with startups through three approaches: a venture client model where its business units become paying customers of startup products, corporate venture capital investment through an arm managing roughly 800 billion yen, and acquisitions bringing startups into the group. The venture client model asks both sides to compromise: MUFG avoids demanding a full specification upfront, while the startup addresses MUFG's compliance and security requirements.
