TOP MESSAGE

We are pleased to announce that FUNDINNO, Inc. was listed on the Growth Market of the Tokyo Stock Exchange on December 5, 2025. We would like to extend our sincere appreciation for the continued support and engagement of our stakeholders and institutional partners.

Since our founding in 2015, guided by our vision of “Creating a future where challenges can be taken on fairly,” we have been advancing a technology-enabled financial infrastructure that enables individual investors to directly provide risk capital to unlisted companies. By consolidating the purchase, management, and trading of unlisted shares on a single digital platform, we have developed scalable market infrastructure that supports the efficient circulation of risk capital across the broader economy.

Our platform integrates the fundamental market infrastructure functions that underpin the private securities market ecosystem, including capital formation, digital disclosure and reporting, shareholder administration, and a legally compliant trading market for unlisted securities. Through the full digitalization of these functions—traditionally dispersed across multiple intermediaries—we have achieved significant improvements in transaction speed, information transparency, regulatory adherence, scalability, and operational cost efficiency. These enhancements establish a robust foundation for unlocking long-term structural growth in the private-market investment ecosystem.

Japan’s risk capital market for unlisted companies remains underdeveloped relative to global benchmarks. While the government’s Five-Year Startup Development Plan aims to expand domestic startup investment tenfold to ¥10 trillion by 2027, access to capital for early-stage companies has long been constrained. This structural challenge—one we experienced firsthand when founding our own venture—underscores the need for institutionalized market infrastructure, a gap we are committed to addressing through our platform.
Recent regulatory developments have further accelerated the evolution of this market environment. The easing of investment regulations for unlisted securities—including expanded allowances under J-Ships—has created favorable structural tailwinds for our business model. Within this shifting landscape, our platform serves as essential market infrastructure directly connecting investors, including institutional participants, with growth-stage private companies.

As a newly listed company, we remain committed to upholding the responsibilities and governance standards expected of a public entity. We will continue to expand the scale and sophistication of our platform, enhance long-term shareholder value, and contribute to the growth and resilience of Japan’s risk capital market by enabling equitable investor access and supporting sustainable company formation.

We deeply appreciate your continued support and look forward to building a long-term partnership with the institutional investment community.
Sincerely,
