CI Partners provides developmental and after-school day services for children with disabilities as well as employment support services for people with disabilities, aiming to deliver seamless assistance from childhood through adulthood. The company has crafted a unique operational model that centralizes headquarters functions while optimizing on-site operations to maintain service quality at scale. Founded in November 2015 by CEO Takashi Iezumi—who drew on personal experience as a parent of a child with disabilities and from roles in corporate HR and welfare-facility management—CI Partners seeks to bridge gaps in Japan’s disability support ecosystem. To accelerate growth, the firm is pursuing a nationwide roll-up strategy, acquiring existing facilities to expand into regional cities. Management plans to allocate newly raised capital to business-succession funds that will finance these acquisitions and rapidly establish a high-quality service network nationwide. While the company has not disclosed revenue or user figures, it positions itself as a consolidator in the fragmented disability support sector. Future plans center on building a "total support" platform that accompanies clients from early childhood development through workplace integration.
