Crowdfunding for Dotcon by PUMP MAN Inc.

PUMP MAN Inc., based in Akiruno, Tokyo, has successfully concluded the first phase of its crowdfunding initiative on "FiNANCiE" for its innovative permeable concrete product, Dotcon. The campaign sought to raise 200 million yen but achieved approximately 70 million yen, reflecting substantial support from both individual and corporate backers who resonate with the environmental benefits of the product.

The crowdfunding project attracted a diverse group of supporters through two different funding categories: individual and corporate. The corporate option offered a special plan for designated "Dotcon Partner Contractors," aiming to strengthen the potential installation network in the future.

Despite falling short of the initial financial goal, the 70 million yen raised signifies a commitment and belief from numerous investors in both the ecological contributions and urban infrastructure challenges that Dotcon addresses. Many participants were motivated by a desire to contribute positively to the environment, understanding the significant impact that permeable concrete can have in urban settings.

Exclusive Rewards for Contributors

For those who participated in this initial crowdfunding phase, PUMP MAN has prepared exclusive rewards that are available only through the FiNANCiE platform. These rewards include:

• - Signed book by the CEO, Tatsuya Ozawa
• - Limited edition merchandise and special commemorative items

Contributors can apply for these rewards until the end of September 2025, with shipments slated for mid-October. Importantly, any funds that aren’t applied for by the deadline will result in forfeiture of the reward rights.

Future Directions

With the insights and financial backing gained from this crowdfunding campaign, PUMP MAN aims to expand its operations further. Key future initiatives include:

• - Strengthening collaborations with partner contractors
• - Encouraging more installation cases in both urban and rural areas
• - Exploring opportunities for a second round of crowdfunding

These efforts are expected to accelerate the adoption of permeable concrete in society, making it a more common choice for various construction projects.
