Published

on

By

– Two former SoftBank Vision Fund investment professionals join SBVA, expanding its global network across the U.S., Japan, and Southeast Asia
– SBVA to deepen support for portfolio companies, from identifying promising companies globally to supporting their expansion into overseas markets

SEOUL, South Korea, Aug. 26, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — SBVA (CEO: JP Lee) announced today that it has appointed two former SoftBank Vision Fund investment professionals, Kaz Yoshimaru and Chris Lee, as Venture Partners. The appointments will further strengthen SBVA’s global investment capabilities and expand its support for portfolio companies entering overseas markets and growing their businesses.

Kaz Yoshimaru holds a Bachelor of Laws and a Master of Public Administration (MPA) from the University of Tokyo, as well as an MBA from Harvard Business School. He joined SoftBank Group in 2015 and later served as an Investment Director at SoftBank Vision Fund, investing in global technology companies as part of its U.S. investment team. He invested in leading technology companies including Databricks, Wiz, Perplexity, and Sierra, while supporting their expansion into Japan and helping bridge Silicon Valley and Asia.

As a Venture Partner at SBVA, Yoshimaru will leverage his expertise and network across the U.S. technology and venture ecosystem to support a range of initiatives. He will also lead strategic advisory and structuring efforts for a new fund focused on investing in U.S. startups.

Chris Lee earned a bachelor’s degree in Economics from the University of Chicago. He later worked at CVC Capital Partners and GIC before serving as a Partner at SoftBank Vision Fund. With extensive experience in private equity and growth equity, Lee led investments in major high-growth companies across Asia, including Yanolja, Carro, Advance Intelligence Group, bKash, IYUNO, and Funding Societies, building deep investment expertise and networks across the region.

At SBVA, Chris Lee will help identify co-investment opportunities in Southeast Asia and support new fund formation, while also helping portfolio companies enter and expand in local markets.

“Kaz and Chris bring extensive investment experience and networks built through identifying and supporting innovative companies across global markets,” said JP Lee, CEO of SBVA. “We expect their addition to further strengthen SBVA’s role as a bridge between the global technology ecosystem and Asian markets.”

Joget Introduces Agent Lab, a Program Helping Businesses Build AI Agents Without Code

Published

on

By

New community initiative invites businesses to submit real workflow challenges for a free, expert-built AI agent, with selected builds shown live in an exclusive webinar.

COLUMBIA, Md., Aug. 26, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Joget, Inc., the global innovator of the open-source, enterprise agentic AI application platform, today announced the launch of Joget Agent Lab, a community-driven initiative that builds a working AI agent for selected businesses at zero cost.

Any organisation can submit a bottleneck or manual process, along with how they’d want an agent to solve it, through the Agent Lab submission form. Joget’s product team reviews the entries, selects the strongest use cases, and builds and tests a working prototype for each one.

The finished agents are then unveiled in a live webinar, where Joget walks through the build step by step, including the prompts and tools used, so participants leave knowing exactly how to attempt the same build themselves.

“We hear the same thing from businesses across every industry: they know exactly where AI could save them time, but building an agent still feels like something you need a developer for,” said Raveesh Dewan, President and CEO of Joget.

“Agent Lab takes that assumption apart in public. We build the agent, we show our work, and by the end of the webinar you know how to do it yourself on our platform.”

Joget Agent Lab is open to:

Business leaders and managers looking to automate repetitive tasks and free up their teamsIT professionals and developers exploring how quickly they can prototype AI agents on a live platformProcess owners and analysts searching for a practical fix to a workflow that has outgrown manual handling

How it works

Submit an idea. 
Describe a bottleneck or manual process, and how an agent could solve it.

Joget builds it. 
The product team reviews submissions and prototypes an agent for the ideas selected.

Watch it live. 
Participants join a webinar to see the finished build and learn how to replicate it.

The agents built through the programme run on Joget AI Agent Builder, a no-code tool that lets both technical and non-technical users design agents visually, test them before deployment, and keep a human in the loop for approval.

Businesses looking to move faster on app development more broadly can pair this with Joget AI Composer, which builds and edits forms, lists, workflows, and interfaces through conversation, with every change staying visible and editable inside Joget’s visual builders rather than hidden in generated code.

The webinar is a teaching session, not a takeaway app. Participants who want to rebuild what they saw will need to bring their own LLM API key, the same bring-your-own-key model used across Joget’s AI tools. This approach gives businesses the freedom to connect with their own LLM provider, and puts them in control of their existing data and privacy.

Businesses that want to go further than a single prototype and build full-scale apps and agents that match their enterprise environment will need a Joget platform subscription. Joget’s team is available after the webinar to walk businesses through both.

Submissions for Joget Agent Lab are open now.

Media Contact: pr@joget.com
