• Compass

  Led · Series B · Mar 2026

  Compass operates a suite of tourism-focused services that include its "Japan Wonder Travel" guided tours for inbound visitors, the accommodation management platform "COMPASS STAY," and the nationwide kimono rental chain "wargo." To build an end-to-end visitor experience, the company also provides optional tour planning, tourism consulting, and has recently expanded into transportation by fully acquiring mobility operators Cab Station and Autec—its eighth M&A transaction to date. Compass’ strategy is to create a seamless ecosystem covering lodging, transit, and activities for both domestic and international travelers. The newly raised funds will be allocated to additional M&A activity, as well as equipment, software development, and recruitment to scale its offerings. Including the latest Series B proceeds and loan, Compass has secured roughly ¥2.8 billion in total capital. The company sees these investments as a springboard to accelerate growth across its hotel operations, experiential services, and regional production businesses.

• Matilda

  Participated · Series B · Feb 2026

  Matilda runs “Matilda” stations where families can pick up freshly prepared, home-style dinners ordered entirely through LINE. Since launching about five years ago, the service has grown to more than 40 stations and now dishes out roughly 4,500 meals per day, supported by a rotating menu of over 800 items that turn dinner into a family-centric experience. The company frames dinner as an experiential ‘content’ offering designed to enrich family conversations and children’s curiosity, aligning with its mission to “create a society where children can remain innocent.” Revenue figures were not disclosed, but the scale metrics show solid traction and operational intensity. Newly raised capital will fund construction of a third central kitchen and strengthen hiring to maintain consistent quality as the network scales. Management also plans to systematize operations so identical customer experience can be delivered no matter the station or staff. Founded on January 27, 2021 and headquartered in Koto-ku, Tokyo, the company continues to refine its customer experience with the support of strategic partners experienced in large-scale operations and consumer engagement.
