Mynavi Corporation is a large Japanese information-services conglomerate founded on August 15, 1973 as Mainichi Communications Inc., adopting the Mynavi name in 2011. It is headquartered in Chiyoda, Tokyo (Palaceside Building), the same building as Mainichi Newspapers, with which it was historically affiliated — though Mynavi's own shareholding tie to Mainichi has since dropped below 10%, and Mainichi now describes it only as a "friendly company" rather than a subsidiary. As of October 2024 Mynavi had roughly 7,621 employees. Its core businesses span employment/recruitment media (new-graduate hiring, career changes, temporary staffing), publishing, real estate information, bridal services, and travel content, operated across numerous Mynavi-branded portal sites, with overseas operations in the United States (New York), China (Beijing), and South Korea (Seoul).
Beyond its core media/recruitment business, Mynavi has made direct startup investments, most notably a multi-round investment (starting January 2019, with further rounds through 2024) in Nosh, a Japanese frozen prepared-meal delivery service. No Philippines- or Southeast Asia-specific investment activity was confirmed from available sources for this profile.

A sourcing caveat up front: Pavilion Capital's own website (pavcap.com) is a fully client-side-rendered single-page application that returned no extractable server-side content across its homepage, about, and portfolio pages this session — every fact in this profile comes from its LinkedIn presence and a third-party investor database rather than the firm's own site directly. Pavilion Capital is confirmed via LinkedIn (handle: pavcap, Singapore-registered) to be an investment firm affiliated with Temasek Holdings, Singapore's state investment company, with a reported headcount in the 51-200 employee range. An exact founding year could not be independently confirmed this session.
Third-party sourcing (CompassList) describes Pavilion Capital as investing in both U.S. and Asian companies and names M17 Entertainment (Asian social-media/livestreaming holding company), Warung Pintar (Indonesian smart-retail-kiosk network), and Fore Coffee (Indonesian coffee delivery chain) among its portfolio — though this could not be cross-verified against a second independent source this session. No Philippine investment or Philippine-market activity was found in any source checked.
