CONCEPT

We want to support startups
that are taking on challenges.

HENNGE has a culture of supporting people who take on challenges.

What matters is how many times we step up to new opportunities and how much we can learn and discover from both successes and failures.

Since our founding, we have consistently faced challenges and continued to learn from them.

This has been made possible because of the support of people and companies that believed in us.

Now, we are eager to share our funding, experience, and knowledge with startups creating new and unprecedented value for the world.
