Readyfor
Japan's leading crowdfunding platform for social impact funding
About Readyfor
Readyfor is Japan's first and largest crowdfunding service, established to create a flow of funds to sectors often overlooked by traditional finance. Originating as a university venture, the platform specializes in "All-or-Nothing" donation and purchase-based crowdfunding, enabling individuals, NPOs, medical institutions, and local governments to raise capital for social issues, research, and cultural preservation. By rigorously vetting projects and providing expert curation support, Readyfor has facilitated billions of yen in donations, establishing itself as a vital infrastructure for the country's social economy.
Beyond its core marketplace, the company has expanded into a comprehensive "Social Finance" provider. It operates specialized verticals like "Readyfor College" for university research and "Readyfor Medical" for hospital funding. Additionally, its "Readyfor SDGs" service connects corporate CSR budgets with relevant social impact projects, while its philanthropy arm advises wealthy individuals on strategic donations and bequests. This multifaceted approach bridges the gap between capital holders and social entrepreneurs, fostering a culture of donation in Japan.
Backed by prominent investors including JIC Venture Growth Investments, Salesforce Ventures, and Globis Capital Partners, Readyfor is actively driving financial inclusion and regional revitalization. The company works closely with local governments and major corporations to align funding with the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), aiming to realize a society where money flows seamlessly to where it is needed most for the public good.
