Sincecore Secures Lead Investment from CINCA to Accelerate Development of AI-Powered High-Risk Interview Platform

Funding Overview

Startup studio CINCA, Inc. has announced its role as the lead investor in Sincecore, Inc., the developer of the dialogue governance platform "Shinmirai Navi." This investment is aimed at accelerating Sincecore’s business growth and the societal implementation of its core service.

About Sincecore and Its Dialogue Governance Platform

Sincecore, Inc. originated from "OneAB Studio," a new business creation program by Dai Nippon Printing Co., Ltd. (DNP). Their platform, "Shinmirai Navi," is an AI-SaaS solution designed to assist organizations in managing "high-risk interviews," such as internal whistleblowing responses, harassment and mental health consultations, and corporate misconduct investigations. By integrating AI technology with the expertise of professionals—including labor and social security attorneys and legal experts—the platform provides end-to-end support from interview preparation to recording and post-session review. This shifts the process away from subjective reliance on individual intuition, ensuring reproducible, high-quality interview management.

Background and Future Outlook

With the revised Whistleblower Protection Act scheduled to take effect on December 1, 2026, companies are under increasing pressure to ensure the effectiveness of their whistleblower response systems. Sincecore is currently in the final stages of service development ahead of the platform's official launch in the fall of 2026, while simultaneously preparing for pilot programs with forward-thinking enterprises across multiple industries. Through this funding, the company aims to contribute significantly to strengthened corporate governance and the improvement of workplace environments.
