TEL VC strives to leverage the capabilities of our parent Tokyo Electron — the world's second largest semiconductor equipment manufacturer — to enable the growth of other foundational technologies — from thin film transistors to nanotechnology.  Our approach reflects our understanding of the limitations of both traditional corporate and financial venture capital models.  We seek new ways to use our unique resources to transform ideas, talents and technologies into great companies.

We are located in Silicon Valley, USA but globally focused since good ideas and fresh perspectives can emerge anywhere.
