FUNDINNO's Game-Changing Move in Equity Crowdfunding

In a significant development in the world of equity crowdfunding, FUNDINNO Corporation is set to launch large-scale projects, allowing startups to raise funds below 500 million yen. The change comes in response to the amended Financial Instruments and Exchange Act, which was enacted in February 2025. This adjustment in the law fundamentally alters the previous limit, increasing the maximum amount a single project can raise from under 100 million yen to below 500 million yen.
