Pocket Sign centers its offering on the municipal super app "PocketSign," which lets residents obtain copies of residence certificates, receive disaster alerts, and complete multiple government procedures in one place. The company supplements the app with "PocketSign MynaConnect," a gateway that safely links external services to the government’s My Number Portal API, and "PocketSign Platform," a mini-app development environment. Its core technology embeds Japan’s Public Key Infrastructure (JPKI) into smartphones, allowing online proof-of-identity and meeting the high security standards required by both public and private sectors. Developers can integrate this capability quickly through Pocket Sign’s proprietary SDK. The service is already being rolled out by municipalities across Japan, and the firm now aims to extend its digital-identity infrastructure to the residential market in partnership with Sekisui House Group. Funds will be used to expand municipal features and build housing-focused identity and contract workflows, positioning Pocket Sign as a trust layer that bridges public and private services. To date, the company has raised a total of ¥1.4 billion in funding.

Headquartered in Tokyo, ByWill supports companies and local governments across Japan in achieving carbon neutrality by turning their decarbonization efforts into monetizable carbon credits, primarily through the J-Credit scheme. Its core offerings span environmental-value creation support (credit generation), carbon-credit brokerage, decarbonization consulting and related brand-building services. The company positions itself as a co-creator that transforms green transformation (GX) from a compliance cost into a growth driver, aiming to create a virtuous cycle between environmental and economic value. Since announcing the first close of its Series B in July 2025, ByWill has continued to grow, expanding its nationwide partner network and increasing the number of J-Credit creation support contracts, though no specific operating metrics were disclosed. Demand is buoyed by a strengthening domestic and international carbon-credit market, including the forthcoming GX-ETS Phase 2 in 2026. The newly raised capital will be directed toward improving the productivity of its environmental-value services, expanding credit-creation geographies and methodologies, and hiring talent to sustain rapid growth. Cumulative funding now stands at ¥3 billion, giving the company additional resources to accelerate its mission of making GX something organizations “want to do” rather than “have to do.”
