Japan
Stock is a Japanese Information Technology startup founded in 2014 that has developed and operates the information sharing tool Stock, aimed at revolutionizing the information storage and sharing field. The tool allows teams to easily store and organize information, addressing the issue of information getting lost in chat streams or the inconvenience of file sharing.
Since its official launch in April 2018, the platform has gained traction rapidly, with over 100,000 companies utilizing the tool without any advertising expenses. The simplicity of the product has been a key driver of its rapid growth, with users of all technical abilities, including individuals in their 60s without IT expertise, easily adopting it.
Recognizing the strong demand for the product, Stock recently closed its first external funding round, raising ¥100.00M from East Ventures, DNX Ventures, Money Forward, Infcurion, Daisuke Kamada, and Seio Nagami in September 2020. The capital injection will fuel the company's growth plans, targeting not only small teams in small and medium-sized enterprises but also expanding into large corporations, including publicly traded companies. Additionally, Stock's international expansion is anticipated, following the achievement of a certain scale in the domestic market. With the successful validation of robust user needs and a solid investment, Stock is poised for substantial product growth and global expansion.
