Every WiLL Secures 130 Million JPY in Seed Round Funding

Every WiLL announced on October 7 that it has raised a total of 130 million JPY through a seed funding round involving ON&BOARD and East Ventures, as well as other financial support. This funding will be utilized to expand its unattended parcel pickup locations, known as "Toriik Spot," which are designed for underutilized spaces in commercial facilities and public areas.

The funding includes grants and loans from various government entities, such as the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism and the Okinawa General Bureau, contributing to the total amount. While the specific amount from the third-party allocation has not been disclosed, the total funding represents a significant boost for the company.

Toriik Spot allows parcels to be delivered to local hubs instead of individual homes, reducing the burden on delivery drivers and minimizing the need for redeliveries. Users can pick up their parcels at their convenience without worrying about theft, a feature developed as part of a government-supported project.

In September, Every WiLL also launched a logistics app called "Jitaku de Toriik," which allows users to earn points by photographing and submitting their delivery receipts. This initiative aims to engage the public in improving logistics efficiency and is part of the ongoing development of their services.

The raised funds will be directed toward expanding the installation areas of Toriik Spot, further developing the Jitaku de Toriik app, and enhancing collaboration with local governments, commercial facilities, logistics providers, and e-commerce businesses. Every WiLL aims to accelerate the construction of new logistics infrastructure to address societal issues related to parcel delivery.
