ZOYO Inc., aiming to "Spread Gifting to Society," Secures Funding from Congrant Inc.

ZOYO Inc. (Headquarters: Shibuya-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director: Takumi Komuro; hereinafter "ZOYO"), which develops and provides services in the micro-donation domain such as donations and tips, announces that it has secured funding from Congrant Inc. (Headquarters: Nishi-ku, Osaka; Representative Director: Masataka Sato; hereinafter "Congrant Inc.").

Through this funding, ZOYO will strengthen its collaboration with Congrant Inc., which has supported numerous non-profit organizations in the donation DX and fundraising fields, and advance service development in the micro-donation domain, including donations and tips.

The Society ZOYO Aims to Realize

ZOYO was founded in February 2026 with the mission of "Spreading Gifting to Society."

In today's world, where the question of what true affluence is is being re-examined, we believe that "gifting" holds even greater significance. By gifting, we mean "giving form to intentions and thoughts to deliver them to someone." This can manifest in various forms, such as "donations" for money, "presents" for goods, or "help" for time.

Gifting is not merely an exchange of resources. For the giver, it is an expression of their intentions and stance. For the receiver, it is a feeling that their existence and activities are needed by someone. We believe this exchange creates connections between people and fosters happiness. Furthermore, there are activities crucial to society, such as care, education, culture, creation, and community ties, which cannot be adequately supported by market mechanisms alone. Gifting serves as a new channel to deliver resources to such activities.

By spreading gifting throughout society, we aim to realize a rich economic sphere where more people connect with others, support each other, and resources flow to where they are needed. A society where gifting is widespread should be more humane, warm, and comfortable. Towards this realization, we will first focus on creating mechanisms for intentions and thoughts to flow as money within society.

Purpose and Outlook of Funding

This funding was secured to accelerate service development in the micro-donation domain that ZOYO is working on.

Congrant Inc. is a leading company in the donation and fundraising field, having supported the fundraising efforts of many non-profit organizations and organizations tackling social issues. ZOYO will strengthen its collaboration with Congrant Inc., which possesses extensive knowledge in the donation and fundraising fields, and work on creating mechanisms where gifting, including donations and tips, can occur more naturally in daily life.

Moving forward, ZOYO plans to explore the possibilities of gifting in various areas, including co-creation with non-profit organizations, creators, community groups, and corporations, while continuing to validate its services.

Comments from Each Company

Masataka Sato, Representative Director and CEO of Congrant Inc.

We decided to invest in ZOYO because we deeply resonate with their vision of "Spreading Gifting." At Congrant, we have been working to create financial flows through donations, but ZOYO is addressing the fundamental "intention of human connection" itself. We are convinced that a world where micro-donations like donations and tips become integrated into daily life will be a new bloodstream for society. We fully support the future that Mr. Komuro and the ZOYO team are envisioning.

Takumi Komuro, Representative Director and CEO of ZOYO Inc.

I am deeply grateful for the investment from Congrant Inc., a leader in the donation and fundraising field, and for their expectations for ZOYO's challenge. I have been greatly supported by Mr. Sato, the representative of Congrant, for about three years. The straightforward approach of everyone at Congrant in facing donations and NPOs has inspired me many times. We believe that gifting has the power to enrich people and society. We are developing services in the micro-donation domain, including donations and tips, so that anyone can gift more naturally. Although our business is still in the verification stage, we will work to create the gifting mechanisms needed in the coming era with the help of many people.
