We’re back with the Japanese startup funding roundup. Initial Coin Offerings are all the rage at the moment and Japan is no exception. Check out the companies which raised coins and cash below.
ALIS
Alis is a social media platform which provides content to users directly without advertising.
Alis rewards quality content providers and sharers with tokens called ALIS. The project was inspired by Steem and aims to bring a similar platform to the Japanese market. Instead of making revenue through advertising or stealth-marketing, the platform simply lets users give tokens to content creators and raises the value of the tokens through this exchange.
Alis raised over US$3.5 million in Japan’s first social media ICO.
Collet by Crevo
Crevo’s Collet is a crowdsourcing platform for finding talent for video projects.
The service includes a job board where you can browse video professionals and their portfolios. Upon selecting a team for a video project, the service offers a suite of tools for communication, sharing resources, and plotting progress. Through the use of artificial intelligence and cloud-based storage, Collet brings the necessities of video production and team coordination online.
Crevo received roughly US$2.8 million in funding last week.
