Lingble Inc. (Headquarters: Hodogaya-ku, Yokohama, Kanagawa; CEO: Mahoto Harada) has completed a 300 million yen funding round through J-KISS convertible equity, led by DG Daiwa Ventures, with participation from Headline Asia, Gazelle Capital, and Hayate Investment (INNOVATION HAYATE V Capital). This round closed at the end of February 2026. The company also announced that the beta version of its AI system, 'Tsuro-san,' is scheduled to be released to existing customers starting in May 2026.
Lingble Inc. is the holding company that owns 100% of the Singapore-based entity Lingble Pte. Ltd., which provides global digital solutions. This funding marks the first external capital injection since the company transitioned to its new corporate structure.
Regarding the transition to the new structure:
In October 2025, CEO Mahoto Harada acquired shares from former major shareholders to reorganize the business into a holding company structure. Lingble Inc. was established in Japan as the parent company to oversee the group, including the 100% ownership of Lingble Pte. Ltd. This change aims to strengthen global business promotion, improve financial flexibility, and enhance operational agility.
Background of the funding:
Expanding brands into overseas markets involves numerous barriers, such as language support, logistics, payments, and regulatory compliance, making global e-commerce a domain previously accessible only to large enterprises. To address this, Lingble has provided the 'Lingble Link' platform, offering total solutions for global e-commerce—from strategy and D2C store construction to payment, marketing, customer support, and international logistics. Since its founding in 2019, the company has served 45 brands with annual revenues ranging from billions to hundreds of billions of yen.
Furthermore, the company is developing 'Tsuro-san,' an AI system that implements a playbook for overseas expansion. By integrating Lingble's 15+ years of experience across 170 countries, 'Tsuro-san' assists brands in decision-making and operational tasks, enabling SMEs to compete in the global market. The beta version will be available to existing clients from May 2026.
Use of funds:
The raised capital will be allocated to the development and enhancement of 'Tsuro-san,' continuous investment in 'Lingble Link,' expansion into new markets such as South Korea, and strengthening the sales organization.
Future outlook:
Lingble aims to democratize global e-commerce, making it accessible and scalable for brands of all sizes by lowering the hurdles to international expansion.
