AI Reasoning: Found a news item on epiST Ventures’ official site dated 24 Sep 2025 announcing selection as a certified VC for Shizuoka Prefecture; this indicates activity and public engagement within the last 3 months. The site also shows other 2025 activity (e.g., Mar 24, 2025 collaboration with Tokyo University of Science). The reasoning references an investment into or support of startups; one identified portfolio mention from PitchBook lists Awarefy as an investee.
