Overview

Sango Technologies develops and operates TapNow, a social app that uses smartphone widgets to share photos directly to friends' home screens. TapNow launched in 2022 and has surpassed 1 million downloads, reached a peak App Store free ranking of #7, and records about 1.3 million monthly posts. The company plans to continue feature development under the theme of "optimizing communication and redefining SNS," leveraging the high placement of its home‑screen widget. With the new funds Sango will accelerate global expansion, strengthen domestic and international alliances, and boost hiring. The team also intends to expand use cases beyond peer‑to‑peer sharing to include TapNow‑to‑user and potentially company‑to‑user interactions. As of this raise the company reports total funding of ¥290M and is focused on commercial and product growth.
