Global Brain has invested in ADDress Inc. (ADDress), a startup delivering subscription-based multilocation living services, through its ANA Future Frontier Fund L.P. (ANA Future Frontier Fund). In recent years, the issue of abandoned homes in rural areas has become increasingly severe due to regional depopulation and urban concentration. On the other hand, the demand for multilocation living is steadily rising, fueled by new ways of working such as remote work. ADDress aims to realize population sharing between urban and rural areas by increasing the number of people living multi-site lifestyles. Through its subscription service called ADDress, which provides housing across Japan, and the deep, local experiences facilitated by its community managers—known as Yamori—who connect members with the communities, the startup strives to create a completely new lifestyle that is distinct from both traditional travel and permanent relocation. Global Brain has decided to invest in ADDress, highly valuing its service's uniqueness and significant social impact in tackling serious regional issues while prioritizing local communities. Through this investment, Global Brain will collaborate with ANA HOLDINGS INC. to provide multi-faceted management support aimed at contributing to ADDress' further business expansion.
