Every WiLL Secures Major Seed Funding
Every WiLL has announced the successful completion of a ¥1.3 billion seed funding round. The investment was led by ON, BOARD Investment Business Limited Partnership, with participation from East Ventures and the Japan Startup Support Association. The funding round was finalized on October 8, 2026.
Company Overview
Every WiLL addresses the challenges faced by delivery drivers due to labor shortages in the e-commerce sector. Their innovative service, Toriiku Spot, offers unmanned parcel pickup points, allowing parcels to be delivered to centralized locations instead of individual homes. This service is beneficial for drivers, recipients, property owners, e-commerce operators, and society by supporting decarbonization efforts.
Strategic Use of Funds
The newly secured funds will be primarily used to expand the Toriiku Spot installation areas. These unmanned pickup points are designed to fit into small, unused spaces such as those found in commercial or public facilities. The company aims to alleviate the strain on delivery drivers and reduce the need for redeliveries by offering a convenient parcel collection service.
In addition to expanding the physical locations of Toriiku Spots, Every WiLL is also focused on promoting their logistics point-earning app, "Jitaku de Toriiku." This app enables users to contribute to logistics improvements by photographing and sending parcel labels, thereby earning points.
Broader Impact and Future Plans
Every WiLL's approach not only improves logistics efficiency but also gathers valuable consumer behavior data. This data will be instrumental in refining and optimizing the Toriiku Spot service across different regions. The company plans to use this information to enhance the effectiveness of their service while contributing to a more sustainable logistics ecosystem.
In addition to private investment, Every WiLL has also benefited from grants and loans from various governmental bodies, including the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism, and local governments. This support underscores the public sector's interest in innovative solutions to logistics challenges.
