Smartround Launches 'AI Capital Policy' for Effortless Capital Policy Creation

Introduction

Smartround, a dynamic data creation and management platform headquartered in Chiyoda, Tokyo, recently announced the launch of its groundbreaking feature, "AI Capital Policy." This innovative solution is set to launch in July 2025 and aims to streamline the creation of capital policy tables for startups and investors by automating the extraction of key information from uploaded corporate registration documents.

What is AI Capital Policy?

The AI Capital Policy function enables users to upload their corporate registry documents effortlessly. Within just four minutes, this advanced AI system can automatically extract essential data related to capital structure and types of shares, thereby generating a comprehensive capital policy table. The intuitive design ensures that first-time users can navigate the system easily, without requiring account registration.

How to Use AI Capital Policy

1. Upload Your Corporate Registry
Users can upload their corporate documents for immediate processing. No prior setup or account creation is necessary, which allows for instant access to this powerful tool.

2. Receive Your Capital Policy Table
After the upload, the AI meticulously analyzes the data and creates a capital policy table that reflects the precise information from the uploaded documents, eliminating potential human errors.

Addressing the Challenges of Capital Policy Creation

The capital policy table is an essential document for startups, detailing share issuance and shareholder composition, which is critical for fundraising and discussions with investors. However, many newly established startups face hurdles in preparing these documents, often due to a lack of specialized expertise or the risks associated with manual data entry errors.

Smartround has supported over 3,000 startups in transferring their self-created capital policies onto its platform, revealing that over half contained some form of inaccuracies. Misreporting ownership ratios, for instance, can have grave consequences—a situation exacerbated when startup personnel lack adequate knowledge to verify the information, and investors have limited capacity to double-check these documents.

AI Capital Policy removes this burden by allowing startups to effortlessly generate accurate capital policies by merely uploading their corporate registry documents. This not only saves valuable time but also reduces stress for entrepreneurs who are heavily preoccupied with fundraising efforts.

Future Developments

While AI Capital Policy currently allows for direct document uploads without account creation, Smartround plans to enhance various features within its platform using advanced AI technologies. This includes the introduction of additional capabilities to extract and analyze information from vital legal documents such as shareholder meeting minutes and company bylaws, ultimately further streamlining finance and management tasks for startups.

Insights from CEO Daiki Sunakawa

Daiki Sunakawa, the CEO of Smartround, emphasizes that a company's capital policy must fully align with the records listed in the corporate registry according to corporate law. However, many startup founders are not experts in capital policy, and as complications arise—such as issuing preferred shares or converting J-KISS agreements—discrepancies between their understanding and the registry's facts can occur.

Historically, Smartround has supported startups through SaaS tools and customer service to help improve operational efficiency. With the advent of generative AI, we are transforming our approach significantly.

Startups are not merely looking for better efficiency; they demand accurate data. Thus, we developed AI Capital Policy to automatically generate capital policies directly from legally valid corporate registry information. This represents a significant shift in our methodology. Entrepreneurs will soon find themselves liberated from tedious calculations and manual entries, needing only to verify the final outputs.

Our Commitment

Our mission is to enable entrepreneurs to concentrate on their core businesses. We are dedicated to harnessing the full potential of AI technology to eliminate every inconvenience surrounding startups. We encourage everyone to look forward to our advancements!
