MNTSQ, Inc. (Headquarters: Chuo-ku, Tokyo; CEO: Ryuhei Itaya) announced that Ryo Fukai, who led the launch of the 'Bill One' business at Sansan, Inc., has joined the company as COO effective June 1, 2026. With the vision of 'making all agreements fair,' the company aims to build a platform where any contract can be concluded instantly and fairly. As a crucial step toward this goal, the company is steadily expanding its adoption and market share in the Japanese enterprise sector, serving as a hub for contract networks. Its flagship product, 'MNTSQ CLM,' integrates the expertise of top Japanese law firms with cutting-edge AI technology to redefine contract operations, and is now used by 41 of the top 100 companies in Japan by revenue. Since October 2025, the company has been evolving by gradually incorporating the 'MNTSQ AI Agent,' optimized for corporate contract processes. These efforts have been highly acclaimed both domestically and internationally, with CEO Itaya winning the 'Legal Intrapreneur' category at the 'Asia-Pacific Innovative Lawyers Awards 2026' hosted by the Financial Times in May 2026. At this stage of strengthening the business foundation, Mr. Fukai has joined as COO. Mr. Fukai was the first sales hire for Sansan's 'Bill One' and led the business from development to sales organization building, growing the ARR of the single business from 0 to 12 billion JPY in five years. With Mr. Fukai's participation, the practical knowledge gained from launching and scaling 'Bill One' will be applied to MNTSQ's business, products, and organization. We will further accelerate business expansion in the enterprise sector and advance our growth at an unprecedented speed toward the realization of our contract platform.
