Colega AI Inc., which provides the AI editing service “Colega AI” that uses its own AI to easily manage and analyze social media for restaurants on LINE, has raised funds in a pre-seed round from SparkLabs, a venture capital firm based in Taiwan and Saudi Arabia, and in a seed round from venture capital firms MIRAISE and Shizen Capital.
With the funds raised, we have established a new office in Japan ahead of Colega AI’s full-scale entry into the Japanese market. In addition to providing services to Japanese customers, we will also expand our support system and strengthen sales to stores that have introduced the product.

Nowadays, when choosing a restaurant, SNS has become indispensable for learning about the restaurant’s atmosphere, menu contents, etc. However, many restaurants face the challenge of not being able to secure the time and manpower to devote to posting on SNS, such as creating content to post and responding to comments.
Therefore, Colega AI will fully enter Japan, known as the “food capital of the world,” and provide various support for the social media operations that many restaurants face, helping them to attract customers and increase their recognition, as well as enabling them to create content in multiple languages for the growing number of inbound customers.
Colega AI was introduced in Taiwan in August 2024 and has already been adopted by more than 150 companies.
Colega AI, which was also selected for Spark Lab Taiwan’s accelerator program, began its service in Taiwan in October 2024. More than 150 companies have already introduced Colega AI, which has not only significantly reduced the time it takes to post on social media, but also brought positive results in attracting customers and increasing awareness of restaurants by diversifying content and increasing engagement.
