Micronity Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Shibuya-ku, Tokyo; CEO: Yuichiro Yamazaki, hereinafter "Micronity"), which operates an AI-driven software business succession platform, has achieved an ARR of 2.5 billion yen within about one year of its establishment and completed the business succession of 5 software companies. Furthermore, we are pleased to announce that we have raised a cumulative total of 2.2 billion yen in a seed round through a third-party allotment of new shares centered on domestic venture capital (VC) firms and angel investors. With this funding, we will accelerate the strengthening of our M&A and PMI (*1) structures for industry-specific software companies, the automation of software business operations utilizing AI agents, and the promotion of our recruitment activities.
### Background
While 52.1% (*2) of domestic small and medium-sized enterprises lack a successor, the technological assets of "industry-specific software" companies supporting construction, manufacturing, healthcare, logistics, and local governments are at risk of being lost at the timing of business succession. To address such social issues, Micronity is developing a business succession platform with AI agents at its core. By implementing AI agents into the inherited software businesses, we will evolve them into next-generation business entities capable of autonomously managing operations that previously relied on human labor.
Japan is a "developed country in challenges," facing structural issues such as a declining birthrate, an aging population, and a lack of successors ahead of the rest of the world. Our company will first establish a new model of business succession using AI agents in Japan, and then expand it to countries around the world facing similar challenges.
### Use of Funds Raised
The funds raised this time will be used to accelerate the AI implementation and social recognition expansion of the "Software Business Succession Platform" operated by Micronity, and to welcome many software companies into our group through M&A. In addition to existing businesses, we will also utilize the funds to develop new AI services that rewrite the industrial structure itself, aiming to expand a robust business foundation.
### The "Business Succession Ecosystem" Realized by Micronity
Through this funding, our company will accelerate sustainable growth by leveraging AI as a unique group of software companies. By multiplying inherited software businesses with AI agents, we will evolve them into a "next-generation foundation that autonomously supports industries" and maximize the original market competitiveness of the software.
Beyond the succession and revitalization of existing businesses, we will continue to take on the challenge of redefining the industrial structure itself by creating software and AI tools from scratch that constantly provide new added value to society. Furthermore, we will pursue synergies among diverse software companies participating in the platform and realize dramatic growth that cannot be achieved by individual companies through a "co-creation ecosystem" where knowledge is shared across the entire group.
