Global Brain has made an additional investment in Findy Inc. (Findy), a platform that provides a direct recruiting service and efficiency visualization/measurement for Dev-ops, through its KDDI Open Innovation Fund III (KOIF III). Driven by the vision to create a platform that unlocks the highest potential of software engineers, Findy is dedicated to solving challenges faced by both individuals and organizations in IT engineering. Findy offers five services in Japan, namely Findy, an IT/Web engineer recruitment service; Findy Freelance, a high-skilled freelance engineer placement service; Findy Team+, strategy support SaaS connecting the management and development teams; Findy Tools, a development tool review site; and Findy Conference, a tech conference platform. Findy Team+ has also been available in India since 2024. With the funding raised in this round, Findy plans to accelerate its global business expansion by rolling out the same services in South Korea and Taiwan. Findy’s global expansion initiative is driven by its founding principle to restore Japan's position as a technology-driven nation. Findy aims to foster more Japan-originated innovation in software development, which is the source of corporate growth, and to foster as many Japanese IT companies as possible that can compete globally. As a first step to achieve this, Findy is seeking to establish itself as a globally competitive player. Global Brain has decided to additionally invest in Findy, highly recognizing its strengths in technology, recent robust growth, and potential global business expansion driven by digital transformation of companies. Global Brain will continue to support Findy in overall management and business development including hiring members and acquiring users and customers for further expansion. Note: Global Brain announced its investment in Findy through its GB-VII Growth Fund Investment Limited Partnership in May 2019; GB-VII Growth Fund Investment Limited Partnership and KDDI Open Innovation Fund III in July 2020; and GB-VII Growth Fund Investment Limited Partnership, GB-VI & GB-VII Follow-on Growth Fund Investment Limited Partnership, and KDDI Open Innovation Fund III in April 2022.
