Kyoto Fusioneering and 14 Others Secure ¥35.3B: Compalyze Delivers Deep-Dive Analysis on the Reality of Startup Funding

Report Background and Objectives

Compalyze Inc., the operator of the "Compalyze" corporate intelligence database, has published a report in its Compalyze Journal analyzing 15 funding rounds by unlisted companies announced between August 22 and August 28, 2026. The objective of this study is to visualize funding trends more accurately by structuring and cross-referencing public data—including commercial registries and social insurance enrollment figures—rather than relying solely on press releases and timely disclosures.

Funding Overview: Deep Tech Dominance

The total announced funding during the survey period reached approximately ¥35.32 billion. A clear trend of high-value concentration in the deep tech sector emerged, with just two companies—Kyoto Fusioneering (approx. ¥25.72 billion) and OptQC (approx. ¥7 billion)—accounting for 92.6% of the total. Furthermore, the analysis clarified that Kyoto Fusioneering’s total includes ¥9 billion in debt financing, consisting of loan and credit facilities.

Uncovering Reality Through Public Data Analysis

By cross-referencing public announcements with the timeline of commercial registry filings, Compalyze identified instances where the timing of registration for capital increases deviated from the announcement dates. In this study, five out of the 15 companies were confirmed to have filed their registrations prior to their official announcements. This methodology provides a critical perspective for gaining a deeper understanding of the financial strategies and actual capital movements of private companies.

Future Analytical Outlook

Compalyze Inc. intends to continue its weekly "Last Week’s Funding" reports, providing a granular breakdown of funding (capital increases, loans, and secondary transactions), investor attributes, and commercial registry activity. The company remains committed to promoting transparency in the startup market through objective analysis based on primary sources, including financial statements, registries, intellectual property, and employment data.
