Founded in 2018 and headquartered in Sapporo, NINAITE tackles Japan’s labor-shortage by connecting companies with foreign talent through its cloud service "Tsunagite." The platform unifies the fragmented processes of visa administration, recruitment and on-site retention, leveraging an in-house database built from thousands of candidate interviews and millions of application documents handled since 2019. Drawing on this proprietary data, the company is enhancing Tsunagite with AI agents to automate status tracking and risk alerts for both employers and workers. Beyond SaaS, NINAITE also runs foreign worker placement and dispatch businesses, giving it direct operational insight into customer pain points. Proceeds from the latest financing will fund product development, nationwide sales expansion and deeper AI/data integrations. While specific revenue or user figures were not disclosed, management cites strong traction and high retention rates among employers and workers as key proof points.
