• Illumi Medical Inc

  Participated · Series A · May 2026

  Illumi Medical develops the ET-BLIT intravascular light irradiation system, which uses a thin catheter inserted via a transvascular approach to emit light through vessel walls to reach deep-seated tissues. The technology is intended to enable applications of light-based therapies such as photodynamic therapy (PDT) and near-infrared photoimmunotherapy (NIR-PIT) for cancers and neurological diseases previously inaccessible to external light. The company says the procedure can be performed in existing cardiac catheterization rooms. Illumi Medical was established in February 2023. With the completion of its ¥550 million Series A, the company plans to advance product development, transition manufacturing to mass production, secure supply and quality for clinical trials, and execute global regulatory and insurance strategies. It also intends to expand treatment and diagnostic pipelines through alliances with pharmaceutical companies and pursue international joint clinical trials and overseas approvals.

  Participated · Debt Financing · Dec 2025

  Founded in 2011, Tokyo-based Mujin provides MujinOS, a software platform that unifies robot vision, motion planning and real-time digital twin technology to automate complex manufacturing and logistics tasks. The system controls mixed fleets of robotic arms, AGVs and storage robots under a single architecture, eliminating custom system integration and accelerating deployment. Current applications span depalletizing, palletizing, piece picking, truck unloading, warehouse execution and fleet management. With the new funding, the company will pivot from project-based integration to a more scalable product-led model centered on MujinOS, expand its product lineup and accelerate global rollout in Europe and North America. Resources will also go toward enhancing plant- and warehouse-level digital twins and hiring additional world-class engineers to advance next-generation physical-AI capabilities. Including the latest round, Mujin has raised a cumulative ¥596 billion (≈US$4 billion) in equity and debt financing.
