About Metaplanet
Metaplanet, in its venture form, has historically been associated with Roko Mijic and a thesis that blends frontier technology, biotech, and ambitious moonshot investing rather than conventional early-stage software venture; the same name has separately become well-known as a Japanese listed company pursuing a bitcoin-treasury strategy, which can muddle public perception. Healthcare and life-sciences founders should focus on the venture-investing arm if that is the intended counterparty and confirm carefully which entity they are speaking with. Healthcare exposure within the venture vehicle is consistent with a deep-tech orientation, including longevity, biotech tools, and AI-for-science companies, rather than payor or provider software. AI focus is genuine and central in that frame, with interest in AI-for-biology and AI-for-science where the underlying technical bet is unusual. Stage is typically pre-seed and seed, with checks plausibly in the USD 100K to USD 500K range deployed alongside other deep-tech specialists. This is the wrong door for digital health, telemedicine, or healthcare services. It is a fit for founders pursuing genuinely ambitious, technically dense bets in longevity, biology automation, and AI-for-science where conviction matters more than incremental milestones. Entry path is direct outreach through the website and, more reliably, warm introductions through the deep-tech and longevity research communities. Founders should be ready to defend the technical core in detail; thesis-only pitches will be unwelcome.
