Designing “New Context” for a sustainable society with technology

Integrating Technology×ESG×Incubation with the First Penguin Spirit, we continue to create sustainable “business context” from an earth-centric perspective

Since its founding in 1995, this quote has been a part of the corporate credo of Digital Garage, which has continuously grown alongside the development of the Internet in Japan. Consistently at the forefront of the Internet industry and introducing revolutionary change in social mechanisms, from communication to financial transactions, our employees meet the demands of versatility to think beyond the constraints of convention.
Digital Garage is what it is today because each and every person in the company stands by these words.

Each and every employee at Digital Garage takes pride in their work. They take pride both in their customers and themselves and embrace their work in order to "create new contexts and make contributions to society." The values that they share are called DG Pride and are printed as credo on the back side of their ID cards and carried around at all times. Whenever an employee feels distressed or uncertain, they can read DG Pride once more to return to the basic principles and move forward.

Every field on this page — profile, funds, investment criteria, portfolio and investment-team contacts — is available programmatically through the Private Equity List REST API and MCP server, so AI assistants such as Claude and ChatGPT can query Digital Garage directly instead of scraping this page. One subscription covers both the web app and machine access — see API & MCP.
