2. About the Funding
The Company has raised a total of approximately 50 million yen from East Ventures, Prime Partners, Inc., Japan Finance Corporation, and angel investors.
CEO Takashi Tomisaka:
"The insurance agency industry has been an area where digitalization has been slow for many years. However, with the enforcement of the Revised Insurance Business Act in June 2026 as a turning point, the need for business transformation has become higher than ever. boshu assist has been refining its product in a short period of time through the collaboration of insurance experts and engineers while deeply addressing the issues faced by agents on the front lines. With this funding, we will further strengthen our product development and implementation support system to deliver greater value to the insurance solicitation field. We will continue to work together as a team to realize our mission of making the security of insurance a common thing for everyone."
Mr. Yuya Murakami, East Ventures:
"While the business itself is attractive, I felt a sense of inevitability in Mr. Tomisaka tackling this business, given his family background in running an insurance agency and his experience as an engineer. In addition, I feel his strength as an entrepreneur in the way he is steadily moving the business forward while welcoming people well-versed in the industry into the team. In the rapidly changing field of AI, I believe there is great significance in the boshu team taking on this challenge, and I have high expectations!"
Mr. Yutaka Hatano, Co-Founder Fund General Partner, Prime Partners, Inc.:
"We are very pleased with this investment. We see great potential in boshu Inc.'s efforts to implement 'AI that is used in the field and changes the work itself' through the construction of an AI workforce for insurance agencies. Even in the seed phase, we highly evaluate the fact that they have already introduced the product to client sites and are refining the service with a firm understanding of agency operations, and we strongly look forward to non-continuous growth in the future. Our company will also promote the social implementation of AI utilization in the insurance field through collaboration with partners."
