Grand Story receives investment through Nissay Strategic Fund I

The STORIUM operator pairs the investment with a Nippon Life group partnership focused on regional business creation.

Connecting regional networks

The partnership brings Nippon Life’s relationships with regional financial institutions and businesses together with STORIUM’s network of startups, investors and research organisations. It aims to widen access to business partners and financing beyond existing regional and industry connections.

The partners also plan to develop people who can identify local business needs and help organisations collaborate. Neither the investment amount nor its transaction structure was disclosed.
