- REVORN
Participated · Series A · Jun 2024
REVORN integrates odor sensing, AI formulation and diffusion hardware to digitize smell so it can be recorded, transmitted and replayed like other media. Its platform combines the Obre sensor (detects airborne odor molecules), the Hearom diffuser and fragrances (blends multiple aroma materials in space) and the iinioi® cloud (stores detection data and generates fragrance recipes via machine learning). In 2024 the company’s proprietary sensory-evaluation AI received patent recognition and its efficacy has been validated in multiple use cases. CEO Hiroaki Matsuoka founded the company while at Nagasaki University after noting disaster-response robots lacked a "nose." With fresh capital the team plans to build higher-precision, portable sensors and automatic fragrance reproduction devices and to broaden adoption across food & beverage, cosmetics, healthcare, automotive and general-purpose applications. To date the firm has raised ¥1.35 billion in total funding.
- Ashirase
Participated · Series A · Oct 2022
Ashirase operates two businesses: Ashirase, a walking-assistance system developed for visually impaired users requiring high-precision positioning, and IndoorFlow, an indoor space data platform. IndoorFlow was developed from the positioning and guidance technologies cultivated through Ashirase and targets the digitization of indoor spaces that lack high-precision positioning and common spatial infrastructure. The company emphasizes addressing the “data gaps” in indoor environments where conventional indoor-positioning solutions have been limited by installation and maintenance costs. With the Series A financing, Ashirase plans to accelerate social implementation of IndoorFlow. The company positions IndoorFlow as advancing digitalization at the level of social infrastructure.
