Overview

Utill operates a platform of DX consultation counters for small and medium enterprises, including Web幹事 (Web Kanji), 動画幹事 (Video Kanji), システム幹事 (System Kanji) and 営業幹事 (Sales Kanji). Its flagship Web Kanji service matches clients with suitable web production firms free of charge, drawing from a database of over 5,000 agencies and guidance from specialists. The company reports having handled 35,000 consultations and achieved total orders exceeding ¥3.5 billion. Utill’s stated mission is to “make digitization easier,” and it supports SMB DX across multiple service verticals. The company plans to use new capital to strengthen hiring for business expansion, broaden its consultation areas, and accelerate business development. Utill is actively recruiting across sales, marketing, and engineering roles to support that growth. ユーティル launched Web幹事 on November 5, 2018, a B2B matching platform that connects companies seeking homepage/web production with vetted web production firms. The service centralizes information on over 3,600 web production companies and offers expert consultants who conduct detailed requirement hearings and introduce 1–3 suitable agencies. Consultation and the company-introduction service are provided free to clients, and the database supports searches by specialties (e.g., landing pages, industry expertise). The operator began as a web production company in 2015 and has completed projects for more than 50 clients, including listed firms. Financially, the company announced a seed financing of about ¥57 million composed of angel investment and loans from financial institutions. Future plans include expanding the B2B matching model beyond web production into areas such as app and system development to reduce opacity across other B2B services.
