LUCA Japan, founded in July 2021, operates a digital alternative-investment platform that offers fund comparison, investment execution, and reporting/administration to broaden access to PE, VC, real estate/infrastructure and private-credit funds. The company aims to make alternative investments more accessible to wealthy individuals and smaller institutional investors who historically had limited access. In July 2023 LUCA announced a partnership with the Maybach Foundation and is building a family‑office community targeting entities with assets over ¥1 billion. LUCA runs its business from offices in Otemachi, Tokyo (FINOLAB). The company has completed multiple funding events since founding and reports cumulative funds raised of approximately ¥630 million. LUCA Japan operates a digital platform, “LUCA Beta” (released November 2022), that enables online management, comparison, investment execution, and reporting for alternative-investment funds such as private equity, VC, real estate, infrastructure, and private credit. The platform is being adopted through collaboration agreements with 11 independent wealth managers and consulting firms. LUCA plans to use the newly raised funds to fully internalize product development, upgrade the platform, strengthen its organization, and expand staff to enhance services for partner firms. The company aims to increase the number of collaboration partners and build capabilities to approach a broader and more diverse investor base. LUCA also intends to construct a capital ecosystem that includes overseas investors to promote investment into Japanese GPs and deals. Financially, LUCA raised 1.8億円 in the reported pre-Series A tranche, bringing its cumulative fundraising to about 4.1億円, and expects an extension round to close at the end of October to complete the pre-Series A round.
