Finance platform "FINCHI" connecting companies for investment and M&A launches service on July 1 (Wed)

FINCHI Inc. (Finch, Headquarters: Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo, Representative Director: Ken Inoue) will launch "FINCHI," a finance platform that directly connects companies considering fundraising or business sales (hereinafter "Capital Demander") with companies considering investment or business acquisitions (hereinafter "Capital Provider"), starting July 1, 2026 (Wed).

FINCHI is a service that allows Capital Demanders to communicate the strengths of their business, which are difficult to convey through text alone, more intuitively to Capital Providers by showcasing their business's appeal and the management's vision through video. Capital Providers can view videos on their smartphones, discovering and sharing promising companies internally even while on the go or during spare moments. FINCHI employs a strict screening system for Capital Providers, with many major corporations considering investment and M&A already participating.

Participating Capital Provider Companies

What is the Finance Platform "FINCHI"?

FINCHI is a finance platform that directly connects Capital Demanders and Capital Providers, supporting both investment and M&A. A strict screening system is in place for Capital Providers, offering a highly reliable environment primarily for major corporations considering investment or M&A.

Three Core Functions

Video-based communication of corporate appeal Capital Demanders can communicate the appeal of their business and the management's vision through video. This allows them to convey the strengths and passion of their business, which are difficult to express through text alone, more intuitively and with richer information.

Capital Providers can view videos on their smartphones, enabling efficient sourcing and internal sharing of promising companies with more information than text, even during commutes or in their spare time.

Seamless use of smartphone and PC FINCHI allows for seamless utilization of both smartphones and PCs. Capital Providers can discover companies via video while on the move and complete internal sharing and chat functions. Capital Demanders can smoothly transition between devices on a single platform, handling video posting and chat responses on their smartphones and IM creation on their PCs.

IM (Information Memorandum) Creation Function FINCHI enables Capital Demanders to create IMs (Information Memoranda) necessary for evaluating investment and M&A, based on the information they register. The structure of the IM is focused on eight core items that Capital Providers particularly want to confirm during their initial evaluation, allowing for quick and efficient understanding of each company's information in a standardized format. This system reduces the burden of document creation for Capital Demanders while ensuring Capital Providers can smoothly obtain the necessary information.

Comment from Koichi Maruo, Representative Director of Major7th Inc. and former Senior Managing Director of Daiwa Securities

I spent 28 years in investment banking at Daiwa Securities, involved in corporate actions such as financing and M&A for numerous listed companies, as well as IPOs for startups and various venture companies. Currently, at Major7th Inc., which I founded, I am involved in the growth of multiple companies through a business that connects large corporations with entrepreneurs. Through these experiences, I feel that companies achieve growth beyond imagination through appropriate corporate actions like those mentioned above.

In the past, most such encounters originated from long-standing personal relationships or offline events. FINCHI aims to expand these opportunities into the online world. I look forward to a future where various corporations are blessed with financing opportunities through FINCHI, leading to greater revitalization not only in the venture industry but in society as a whole.

Comment from Ken Inoue, Representative Director of FINCHI Inc.

The finance environment surrounding companies has changed significantly over the past decade. In light of this, I believe the scope for leveraging investment and M&A as opportunities for growth will expand even further from here.

For companies to advance to the next stage of growth, it is important to proactively consider options such as investment and M&A from an early stage. FINCHI aims to broaden new financing opportunities by providing an open and reliable platform where companies that have had limited contact can meet directly.

We believe that finance is not an EXIT, but a START towards subsequent growth. Through FINCHI, we aim to create as many positive financing opportunities as possible for companies, leading to an increase in companies challenging the world from Japan.
