Unito Completes Series D Funding Round

Unito, a Japanese company based in Meguro, Tokyo, has successfully completed its Series D funding round, raising approximately 1 billion yen. This funding comes from a combination of third-party allocations and loans from financial institutions. This marks a significant milestone for Unito, as it aims to expand its unique rental system, which charges rent based only on the days residents stay, a model known as "Re-rent."

With this recent funding, Unito's total capital raised since its inception in February 2020 has reached about 2 billion yen. The company began its Series D funding round with an initial closing in April 2025 and has established a strong base for its ongoing development.

Funding Details

For this funding round, Unito utilized third-party allocations along with loans from financial institutions. Notable participants in the funding included:

• - First Close (April 2025): Various individual and institutional investors including Animal Spirits, AG Capital, Mizuho Capital, and private investor Kei Tanaka.
• - Second Close (June 2025): Major players like Daiwa House Industry and H.I.S. Co., Ltd.

Purpose of Fundraising

Unito aims to use the funds to enhance several aspects of its operations:

• - Expansion of Rental Properties: The plan includes increasing the number of properties across major cities in Japan. The goal is to establish a framework capable of managing 500 units within the next three years.
• - Development of unito PMS: A centralized management system for rental contracts, booking, and customer information which will optimize operations.
• - State-of-the-art Employment Initiatives: With the growth of operations, there is an emphasis on hiring to ensure adequate staffing for the expanded services.
• - Strategic Acquisitions: Further investments to enhance and diversify business offerings.

The significant increase in membership to 77,000 and collaboration with over 10 real estate developers indicate a bright future for Unito. The company currently operates 121 properties with 882 rooms as of June 2025. With the new funding, a swift rollout of the Re-rent model is anticipated, creating unique living solutions for both tenants and landlords.

Focus on Unito PMS Development

The existing Property Management Systems (PMS) are predominantly focused on hotel operations. However, Unito recognizes the need for a more flexible system. The upcoming Unito PMS will cater to both rental and lodging needs, thereby enhancing the operational capabilities related to their dual-use model.

By developing a PMS that manages everything from check-ins to financial accounting, Unito aims to create a synergetic operation that merges living and accommodation seamlessly.

Looking Forward

As of June 2025, Unito has successfully combined efforts with major investors Daiwa House and H.I.S. These partnerships not only bolster Unito's reach in the real estate market but also optimize the use of space through the integration of "live" and "stay" assets. The co-creation of innovative living solutions is paramount to maximizing real estate value under the Re-rent framework.

Through these capital injections and collaborative efforts, Unito intends to establish itself as a new standard in living solutions, firmly positioning itself in both domestic and global markets. With an ambitious roadmap ahead, the company is focused on creating smoother operations and effective collaboration with corporations and stakeholders globally.
