Just as people grow through various encounters and relationships with many people, an investment business association that fosters startups to develop into “good companies” while building relationships with various companies is “emergence”. It’s a law.

[Overview of Heralbony Co., Ltd.]
Heralbony is a welfare experiment company whose mission is “to make a difference.” We manage the licenses of more than 2,000 pieces of art data drawn by domestic and international artists, mainly those with intellectual disabilities, and are developing them into a variety of businesses. Rather than providing support, we work as equal business partners, respecting the artist’s wishes while proceeding with the project, and building a system to pay them fair royalties. In addition to the lifestyle brand “HERALBONY,” we also have an account business that supports corporate DE&I promotion through planning and production of products and spaces, creative production that accurately conveys initiatives, and employee training programs, and an art gallery in Morioka that challenges new “common sense.” We are developing a multifaceted business, including an art business that operates “HERALBONY GALLERY”. By delivering “distinctness” to society in various forms, we aim to change the image of “disability” and create a society where 8 billion people with uniqueness can live as they are.
