Founded in 2019, Osaka-based Univearth develops and operates LIFTI, a logistics digital-transformation platform that improves efficiency and visibility for carriers and shippers. The software blends routing, capacity management, and real-time data tools with the company’s direct operational expertise to tackle Japan’s driver shortages and legacy inefficiencies. Univearth positions itself as infrastructure for the country’s next-generation logistics ecosystem. With the fresh capital, the team plans to expand the LIFTI feature set, pursue strategic M&A, and hire aggressively across functions to support growth. Including the new financing, Univearth has secured a total of ¥536 million (approximately $3.5 million) to date.
