PerkUP operates MEETSCUL, a B2B platform that helps corporate planners post requests for retreats, trainings, and similar group travel while enabling facilities and activity providers to bid or propose directly. The platform’s value proposition is to connect corporate planners with tailored, high-value group travel plans and to help regional partners capture demand, fill off-season capacity, and win higher-value group customers. PerkUP plans to expand MEETSCUL beyond matching by digitalizing later-stage execution tasks—such as implementation coordination and complex bookings—and aims to evolve into a core DX system for the tourism industry. The company intends to use recent funds to accelerate development of these back-end features, hire in product, engineering, and marketing, and pursue marketing and alliance activities to scale. PerkUP was founded in September 2020, is based in Karuizawa, Nagano, and is led by co-CEOs Aya Asao and Haruhisa Saito.
