iiba Inc. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director: Nana Aizawa; hereinafter referred to as "iiba") is pleased to announce that it has completed a Series A funding round, raising approximately 300 million yen through a third-party allocation of new shares. We also announce the launch of a new management structure with the appointment of Ryubun Asayama as Chief Operating Officer (COO) and Yudai Hiroto as Chief Technology Officer (CTO). ■ Growth over the past year since the previous Pre-Series A round *Comparison between April 2025 - April 2026 Since the official release of "iiba," we have supported the daily lives of child-rearing generations by providing information specifically for places used in child-rearing, such as playgrounds, restaurants, and lessons. The platform has now grown to include over 100,000 spot listings nationwide. Collaborations to solve regional issues, such as promoting DX for local governments and providing systems for regional businesses, have also expanded. ◾️ Main uses of funds The funds raised this time will be primarily used for the following purposes to achieve our vision of "building new child-rearing infrastructure with the aim of creating a society where child-rearing is easier": Strengthening product development: Going forward, iiba will undergo a large-scale renewal from a "place-finding app" to a platform that supports the entire living flow of child-rearing households. We will invest in building a suite of functions that connect discovery to action and payment, as well as the data infrastructure to support it. Expanding business development and collaboration with local governments: We will vertically integrate the "upstream" of local government child-rearing support budgets with the "downstream" of child-rearing households' lives. We will deploy a system nationwide, in collaboration with local governments and regional businesses, to ensure that necessary support reliably reaches the households that need it. Strengt
