[Closed Session] The current state of high-funding startups: How they deploy capital ahead of growth
Fundraising is not the "goal" but the "starting line."
Yusuke Horie of dely, who received 9.3 billion yen from Yahoo, achieved a valuation of 30 billion yen, and went public in 2024. Hokuto Igarashi of HOKUTO, who grew a clinical support app used by one in three doctors in Japan and raised more than 11 million yen. Naoki Aoyagi of newmo, who achieved an unprecedented 18.7 billion yen in cumulative funding just 10 months after founding. And Eri Fukuda of SHE, who raised a total of 1.8 billion yen and grew the women's career school "SHElikes" to a scale of 140,000 users.
What is the "real battle" that lies beyond large-scale fundraising? How did they strategically allocate their funds to achieve business growth? IPO, M&A, further growth investment—these four entrepreneurs who chose different paths will candidly share their post-fundraising management strategies and practical insights.
