■ Relationships and Background with Each Underwriter
GAIAXX Co., Ltd. (Lead Investor)
ADDress was founded as an in-house startup of GAIAXX, and GAIAXX has consistently supported ADDress's growth as an early-stage investor, including during the COVID-19 pandemic. By continuing to support management as the lead investor, we aim to achieve the next stage of growth together.
ANA Future Creation Fund
Through this capital tie-up with the ANA Future Creation Fund, operated by Global Brain Inc., we aim to realize a completely new lifestyle that differs from travel or relocation by combining ADDress's "living" with ANA's "mobility (aviation)" and providing unique local experiences.
AgVentureLab
AgVentureLab is an association jointly established by eight JA Group organizations with the aim of co-creating with startups. ADDress was selected for and has received ongoing support from the "JA Accelerator Program" (7th term) operated by the organization. Through this capital participation, we will further accelerate collaboration towards creating a "related population" in the primary industry domain and solving regional challenges.
■ Investor Comments
Yuji Ueda, Representative Executive Officer and President, GAIAXX Co., Ltd.
I am genuinely delighted to be able to work together again through this capital tie-up, having invested in and continuously supported ADDress's challenges since its early days. The nation is now seriously moving towards new social designs based on the concept of "related population," such as "second home living" and the "hometown registration system." This is a trend towards increasing people who are loosely connected to multiple regions, not just simple relocation. ADDress has truly been a pioneer in implementing this from the private sector, and with the collaboration with ANA and AgVentureLab, a model integrating "living, mobility, and work" has become a tangible reality. GAIAXX is also working towards the realization of such a society, and we want to support ADDress's challenges and growth as a shareholder.
Yoshiaki Tsuda, Senior Executive Officer, Head of Future Creation Office, ANA Holdings Inc.
It is deeply moving to have been able to invest in ADDress, led by CEO Sabatoh, with whom I have visited various regions of Japan, discussed business concepts, and conducted joint demonstration experiments. Riding the current major wave of the "Law for Promoting Second Home Living" and the establishment of the "Hometown Resident System," ADDress and ANA will work together to revitalize regions through the expansion of the "related population" and maintain domestic flight networks. I am excited to see many ADDress members flying to various parts of the country with ANA flights.

ADDress's initiative is a sharing service that aims to increase the "related population" in rural areas through multi-location living and multi-location activities, while simultaneously addressing the vacant house problem, against the backdrop of population decline. Our service's unique feature is not just sharing living spaces, but also sharing information and human networks within the region. We expect that through ADDress's efforts, rural areas will be revitalized, and at the same time, new flows of people will be generated in the primary industry sector.
■ Selection for the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism's "Second Home Living Leading Project Implementation Project"
A collaborative initiative by a consortium comprising Shizuoka City, Shizuoka Prefecture, Shizuoka Bank, and ADDress (project operator: Shizuoka Bank Ltd.) has been selected for the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism's FY2026 "Second Home Living Leading Project Implementation Project." This project will demonstrate a second home living model where employees of companies in the Tokyo metropolitan area engage with the people, regions, and jobs of Shizuoka City through cross-border learning, leading to exchanges, work, and housing.
This selection for a project targeting designated cities is the first of its kind in Japan.
