issues offers a platform that links residents and elected officials around discrete “issues,” collecting local input via SNS ads, enabling DM exchanges, and hosting in‑person or Zoom opinion sessions. The company monetizes primarily through monthly subscriptions from legislators and uses targeted advertising per issue to surface resident voices. Reported traction includes more than 400 city/ prefectural councilors and candidates as users, deployment in 24+ municipalities across 14+ policy types, and a measured uplift in paying legislators’ vote totals (average 1.1×, +406 votes). According to company figures, 92.9% of resident users say interactions on issues inform their vote choice. The business says it has reached product–market fit and will use the new funding to scale hiring and marketing, deepen penetration among municipal and prefectural legislators, and develop new products for national Diet members and party branches. The company plans a follow‑on Series A 2nd close focused on small individual investors.
