Yoom Raises 700 Million Yen In First External Funding Round
The round gives Yoom money to push its agent platform into core corporate systems, and it arrives with Canon Marketing Japan's investment arm among the backers, which points to distribution interest from a large office-equipment and IT reseller.

Yoom Inc., based in Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo, raised 700 million yen in its first external funding round. The company runs a business autopilot platform where AI agents handle internal operations alongside people. It reports more than 70,000 registered users as of September 2026 and over 5 million tasks executed monthly. Investors include DUAL BRIDGE CAPITAL, Mizuho Capital, Shizuoka Capital, Harisley, and a Canon Marketing Japan fund.
The funds are earmarked for three things: product development, expansion of the systems Yoom can connect to, and hiring plus sales and marketing staff. The company says Yoom already links with more than 750 services and wants deeper hooks into in-house and core systems.
Its pitch is that rule-based automation alone is rigid and raw AI alone is unreliable, so Yoom pairs the two and leaves people with judgment and approval steps. That is the same positioning every agent vendor uses, and the funding buys time rather than proof.
