M&A Buyer-Focused Advisory Service Launched by Media Incubate to Foster Joint Ventures

Media Incubate Launches Executive Advisory Service for Joint Ventures

In a significant move to bolster its offerings, Media Incubate, based in Shinjuku, Tokyo, has launched an Executive Advisor Introduction Service through its MIE Network. This new initiative, part of the JV Impact Partners expansion, aims to connect companies considering joint ventures (JVs) with seasoned executives possessing extensive industry experience and knowledge.

Background of the Service Launch

The success of a joint venture relies heavily on industry expertise, negotiation skills, and a trusted network of contacts. However, many companies lack these critical resources internally. To bridge this gap, the MIE Network boasts over 100 high-level executives, including members from private equity funds, veteran managers, and senior officers such as CEOs, CMOs, CHROs, and CTOs.

The Introduction Service efficiently matches companies contemplating JVs with knowledgeable executives equipped to provide practical guidance. Media Incubate facilitates these connections, setting the stage for advisory contracts to be negotiated directly between the parties involved.

Service Overview and Contract Format

The Advisory Service follows a structured process to connect companies with the right executive advisors:
1. Initial Consultation: Companies interested in exploring joint ventures will receive a complimentary consultation to discuss their challenges and the ideal advisor profile.
2. Matching Process: Based on the consultation, Media Incubate will propose two to three qualified executives from the MIE membership, tailored to the company’s needs. Companies can review profiles and select individuals they wish to interview.
3. Setting Up Meetings: Media Incubate coordinates the initial meetings and, should ongoing support be desired, the firm envisages that companies will enter into direct advisory contracts with the selected executives.

It’s crucial to note that this service does not engage in financial intermediation or investment advice as per applicable financial regulations; the focus is strictly on introducing qualified executives with management expertise.

Areas of Expertise of Suggested Executives

The members of MIE possess vast experience across various domains:

- JV and M&A Experience: Executives who have practical experience with joint ventures and acquisitions can provide insights based on real-world challenges, negotiation tips, and strategies for post-merger integration.
- Industry-Specific Knowledge: Leaders with deep experience in specific sectors can advise companies on industry-specific practices and regulatory compliance.
- Functional Expertise: Executives with specialization in areas like finance, marketing, or technology can contribute unique perspectives to the JV design process.

Fee Structure

Media Incubate operates on a success-based fee structure for introducing executive advisors. While the initial consultation and matchmaking services are offered free of charge, a fee will only be applicable once an advisory contract is established between the company and the chosen executive.

The specifics of the introduction fees will vary based on the scale and duration of the advisory engagement, with payment being handled directly between the company and the executive, ensuring no intermediaries are involved in those transactions.

Confidentiality and Disclaimer

Media Incubate upholds strict confidentiality regarding information disclosed by participating companies. Each MIE member is also bound by a confidentiality agreement, thus creating a secure environment for discussing sensitive business matters. However, it is imperative to clarify that Media Incubate bears no liability concerning the content, quality, or outcomes of the advisement provided by introduced executives. Results and liabilities arising from the advisory contracts will be mutually determined by the parties involved.

Future Developments

With the initiation of this service, JV Impact Partners is set to create a comprehensive support structure tailored to meet the diverse needs of companies. In conjunction with tools like AI-driven deal discovery from M&A Buy-Side Partners, data analytics through AIBizImpact, and investment networks via PARTNER, the advisory service will further enhance their capability to support joint ventures at various stages.

The company aims to refine matchmaking precision over time by accumulating success stories, paving the way for a specialized expert database categorized by industry and functionality, ready to respond swiftly to corporate needs.

Message from CEO Masaki Hamasaki

In his statement regarding the new service, CEO Masaki Hamasaki emphasized the importance of receiving timely advice in achieving successful joint ventures. The executives within the MIE community each possess valuable experiences that many companies can greatly benefit from. This service is envisioned as a crucial link between these knowledgeable professionals and businesses seeking their advice.

Leveraging their expertise in media support and extensive experience in managing executive communities, Media Incubate is committed to providing optimal connections that will contribute positively to the growth of businesses and the utilization of executive insights within Japan’s financial landscape.
