エール offers external online 1on1 services and related training products (YeLL聴くトレ, YeLLキャリトレ, YeLLフィールド) that pair employees with outside supporters to improve listening, career thinking, and on-the-job practice. The company recently renamed and expanded its product lineup from two to three offerings and cut per-user pricing from ¥20,000/month to ¥10,000/month (tax excluded) to enable large-scale corporate adoption. Its service has been implemented in 273 organizations and uses a pool of over 3,500 supporters; cumulative 1on1 session volume is approaching 100,000 and users grew roughly 280% over three years since the January 2021 Series A. エール emphasizes repeated training plus practice and online learning content to embed listening as organizational culture. The company plans to accelerate large-scale enterprise deployment, expand the supporter base and its online learning offerings, and scale its organizational-impact model. Financially, the company completed a Series B raise of ¥320 million, bringing cumulative fundraising to ¥520 million.
