nearMe.

A startup that provides a shared taxi matching app "nearMe.TaxiShare" and an on-demand shuttle service "nearMe.Smart Shuttle" that provides various transfers from door to door.Overseas, unicorn companies such as Uber and Grab provide ride-hailing services, and taxis can be used easily and cheaply. However, it is in this field that Japan is still behind because the same method cannot be done due to legal and regulatory issues. Therefore, the company has developed a service "near Me." Suitable for Japan. This service does not arrange a taxi but finds and matches people who take a taxi in the same direction. By realizing carpooling, it is an advantage that you can ride cheaper than the normal fare.In October 2020, we raised 500 million yen from Nissay Capital, JA Mitsui Leasing, DBJ Capital, etc. The funds raised will be used for launching new routes for the smart shuttle business, hiring human resources, and marketing to raise awareness of the services provided, further accelerating the business
