I have been in contact with goooods for several years, and I was fascinated by the excellent team including Mr. Kanno and the high level of engagement. In addition, we decided to make this investment because we believe that we have a high affinity with businesses in Nara, our hometown, and other regions, and that we may be able to support them. In fact, our investees and related companies have already started making new transactions using goooods, and we look forward to further expansion in the future. *

*Funding Overview*
About “Goods”, a B2B commerce platform that provides one-stop wholesale and purchasing services
For goods, we are developing and operating a one-stop platform that can simultaneously realize a “marketplace function” that allows you to find new business partners, and “back office business automation” that consolidates ordering, placing, and billing operations.
goooods.com usage screen
By registering on the goods marketplace, you can acquire new reliable wholesalers and suppliers online.
Additionally, once a transaction has started, operations related to receiving and placing orders will be automated. Brands, which are sellers, can automate detailed order processing and eliminate the need for credit, billing, and collection of sales proceeds, allowing them to focus on acquiring new business partners and encouraging repeat business from existing customers.
Retailers and shops who are buyers can discover and purchase the next best-selling products from samples and small lots using preferential transaction conditions, differentiated product lineups, and
recommendations based on data.
This funding will further accelerate product development and customer base expansion.
The funds will be invested in product development, such as responding to more detailed ordering needs, highly accurate presentation of selling products using AI and machine learning, and operational support, as well as marketing and human resources recruitment.
The special website has also been updated following the second closing. Please take a look at the various usage examples of online purchasing and wholesale.
Special fundraising site with usage examples
* Strengthen recruitment, prepare stock options twice as much as standard * The wholesale industry already has rich human and business
relationships, and a B2B community has been formed between brands and buyers. The goods are “Everyone,”
entrepreneur”
With this mission, we will not only make purchasing and
wholesale-related tasks overwhelmingly convenient using technology, but also support registered businesses to expand their business with confidence and increase sales. .
In order to persistently realize the transformation of the industrial structure with a long-term perspective, we have prepared approximately twice the standard ratio of SO (stock options).
