Tokyo: Hiring, Funding And Leadership Signals

Every update we hold that a source placed in Tokyo: 30 updates from 29 sources, across 29 employers. Each one links to the filing or report that makes the claim. These are counts of documents we have read, so they measure what we have found and can cite, not everything that happened. They also include the routine officer filings the tracker sets aside by default, so its figure for this place is lower than the one above.

Covering 2 Oct 2024 to 14 Aug 2026

30 updates tracked
29 employers
29 sources
$92.8M disclosed funding

$92,808,436 disclosed across 7 funding updates. Totals cover the 4 of 7 funding updates that state a US dollar amount. We leave out amounts in other currencies rather than convert them at a rate nobody published.

Updates are grouped by the city name a source printed. We place 20 of the 30 here in Japan. 10 name a place of the same name in another country.

Employers We Hold The Most On

Ranked by how many updates we hold, then by how many independent sources are behind them. That is a measure of our own coverage rather than of an employer's size. Each name links to everything we hold for that employer.
