Runs Akippa, a parking marketplace where drivers book unused private driveways and monthly parking spaces by the quarter-hour through an app.
The parking fees and service charges paid by drivers are booked as revenue in full, and the amount left after the company's commission is paid out to the owner of the space as cost of sales. It owns no parking lots itself and simply provides the place where owners and drivers meet, so it needs no payment machines or gates. Cumulative membership passed 5 million at the end of December 2025, and an average of more than 55,000 spaces a month were listed nationwide in December 2025. Its take rate, the share of transaction value it keeps as commission, is in principle 53.7% as of the end of June 2026.
The company plans to keep adding listings through two routes at once — its Owner Mode app, which lets owners register a space themselves, and direct selling by its own team and partner agents — while widening the product into uses such as subscriptions. The net proceeds of the offering, about 169 million yen, are all earmarked over three years for the salaries of engineers and other product staff and for outside contractors.
