Funding was obtained through a loan from the Japan Finance Corporation.

Kikuvi Inc. (Headquarters: Kamakura, Kanagawa; CEO: Kento Sato; hereinafter “Kikuvi”), which promotes the automation of business hearings through AI, is pleased to announce that it has secured financing from the Japan Finance Corporation.

With this funding, Kikuvi will further accelerate the development of its generative AI-powered hearing automation SaaS, enhancing its initiatives to support operational efficiency and the visualization and utilization of companies’ knowledge assets.

✅ Background and Purpose of the Financing

Kikuvi is developing a SaaS platform in which AI conducts business hearings—whether in person or remotely—on behalf of humans, automating the entire process from “Question → Answer → Summary → Insight Extraction” in one seamless workflow.

In many companies, the organization and sharing of operational knowledge—often personalized and unstructured—has become a critical challenge. Our service addresses this issue by transforming such “tacit knowledge” into valuable assets and improving operational efficiency.

The funds raised through this financing from the Japan Finance Corporation will be used to strengthen our product development capabilities and to accelerate the early launch of user services, thereby advancing the social implementation of our AI hearing SaaS.
