Original Life operates Wedding News, a Z‑generation–focused wedding preparation app that guides users from pre-proposal, registration, ceremony planning, and honeymoon across a one-year new‑married lifecycle. The app hosts about 10,000 real wedding reports and proprietary content delivered in 48 timed steps, and currently captures roughly 25% of new brides annually as app downloads, making it the app’s second‑largest in scale. After a COVID-era business pivot, the company reports strong user growth and GMV expansion in 2022–23. Product roadmap includes nationwide expansion of its venue‑matching service, a honeymoon coupon program in partnership with H.I.S., a rings festival and a planned rings‑shop booking platform, and broader roll‑out of its venue CRM SaaS “Rakuda Wedding” to hundreds of venues. The company plans to use the new funding to further product development, service expansion into multiple wedding‑adjacent domains, and hiring to scale the team.
