Elu Inc., which develops and provides AI agents specializing in the HR field, is pleased to announce that it has completed funding of over 110 million yen in April 2025.
This round is a third-party allotment of new shares, underwritten by SHIFT Inc. and several well-known angel investors.
Through joint research with SHIFT, which has one of Japan’s top HR organizations and a vast amount of HR data, we will continue to build a highly accurate HR AI model rooted in practical knowledge.
Japan’s HR environment is one in which the introduction of technology is difficult to advance, due to a complex web of legal regulations, employment practices, and corporate culture.
