Meet the founding members of Reiwa Factory, who embody execution expertise and ownership.

Founder & CEO

Yu Yonezawa

About

Graduated from the University of Tokyo
Engaged in HR, corporate planning, DX, and data analytics at Marubeni Corporation
Moved to the AI startup VISITS Technologies, driving business development and B2B marketing
Founded Reiwa Factory, current position

Strengths

Believing that "execution is what determines the outcome," he rigorously manages KPIs from the front line and commits to delivering results across the entire organization
Combines the gritty tenacity of a trading-company professional — visiting clients in person and bowing his head to move people — with a sense for pursuing maximum efficiency through digital tools

Co-Founder & COO

About

Graduated from the Graduate School of the University of Tokyo
At Dream Incubator Inc., engaged in new business creation for large enterprises, optimization of business portfolios, and M&A and PMI strategy execution
Served as Head of Corporate Planning and COO at multiple AI startups including VISITS Technologies and algoage

Strengths

Brings the field-level perspective of a strategy consultant who has witnessed firsthand the successes and failures of countless new business launches at Japanese companies, combined with hands-on experience leading multiple AI startups as COO
Despite not being an engineer, takes on AI product development himself (vibe coding), continually staying at the forefront of AI technology

Co-Founder & CAIO

About

Graduated from Aoyama Gakuin University
Worked at Ernst & Young ShinNihon LLC, Accenture, and VISITS Technologies before going independent
Supports data science and product management at multiple startups

Strengths

Has hands-on experience across the full spectrum of data and AI implementation — from building data analytics platforms and driving company-wide DX, to managing SaaS products centered on data and AI, and redesigning operations on the premise of generative AI
Does not stop at simply implementing systems or generative AI. Excels at using implementation as a starting point to redesign business operations themselves, building a state where operations take root and continuously improve

Head of Marketing

About

Graduated from Keio University
Engaged in marketing strategy and sales planning at Hakuhodo Inc.
After going independent, supports new business creation, brand launches, and sales strategy design across both B2B and B2C
Drives business development and marketing across a wide range of industries — AI startups, real estate developers, F&B — both in Japan and abroad
Currently at Reiwa Factory, supporting business development and marketing powered by AI

Strengths

Excels at structuring the essential management issues behind surface-level problems. Rather than taking client statements at face value, she organizes the underlying decisions and market structure to clarify what truly needs to be solved
Does not simply "adopt" AI, but implements it in ways that translate directly into business results. Rather than making AI use an end in itself, she designs the approach by working back from each company's specific challenges — in sales, marketing, and operations — and stays engaged through to building the mechanisms that embed it on the ground

Advisor

About

Active as an investor, entrepreneur, and university lecturer, engaging with a wide range of businesses from startups to large enterprises
Currently a Partner at PERSOL Venture Partners, driving startup investments, business partnerships, and M&A both domestically and internationally
Operates multiple businesses himself and supports numerous entrepreneurs and challengers as an angel investor

Even at the conceptual stage, that's perfectly fine. We'll help you organize the situation and identify where to start.
