Consulting Services

KyuMaru Pacific Alliances is a business development services and consulting company.  We specialize in cross-Pacific deals – both US to Japan as well as Japan to US.    Each of our team members has decades of experience at this trade, fluent in Japanese and English, and skilled at gaining the right match for the needs of companies which have very different business cultures, priorities and urgent needs.

We help you find customers, partners or technology

For US based clients who need new opportunities in Japan, we can help identify a set of currently leading partner candidates, provide introductions, design a structure that best matches both the client’s priorities as well as the target partner’s priorities, and support negotiation through to a successful deal.

We offer complete business development services from the strategic to the tactical and mundane.  We can provide market surveys and technology surveys, both for the US as well as Japan, and can advise on how the client strategy in other regions may be adjusted or implemented for best success in Japan and across Asia.  We have extensive experience with licensing, strategic alliances, direct sales, OEMs, joint ventures, and technology partnering.  From short-term strategic advise to long-term direct sales engagements, no business development job is too small or too large.

Our experience is deep – but our company is young, energetic and current on trends in both Japan as well as Silicon Valley technologies and business.
