HiOLI is a craft-sweets company founded in April 2018 that develops and manufactures micro-batch, producer-transparent desserts. Its brands include HiO ICE CREAM (launched 2019), Butters (2020) and Yama no Cheese (2022). The company upcycles skimmed milk powder, a byproduct of butter production, into craft sweets and emphasizes sourcing, micro-batch production, and visible producer relationships. Since founding, HiOLI has sold over 10 million servings. HiOLI also pursues regional revitalization through partnerships with local farms and confectionery factories. Following its latest fundraise, the company plans to leverage collaboration with Oisix・ラ・大地 Group for joint product development and channel expansion and is aiming for a swing-by IPO.
