Tokyo, 25 September 2025 – At the 2025 KUSABI AWARD, leading venture capital firm KUSABI gathered representatives from 40 portfolio companies. All investors, partners, and founders came together to celebrate progress and future growth. Among this year’s highlights, Arches was honored with the Business Growth Award, recognized as the fastest-growing company in the portfolio.

This recognition validates Arches’ growth trajectory and disciplined long-term strategy. It highlights the company’s commitment to sustainable expansion and lasting value creation for clients, experts, and investors as it advances toward a planned 2028 IPO.

Competitive Edge in Expert Matching

Arches provides an expert matching service that connects companies and investors with specialists in specific fields, delivering insights and first-hand information quickly to support decision-making.

Arches has built a proprietary global expert network with a strong focus on Asia (Japan, China, India, and ASEAN). By directly approaching experts for each project via custom recruiting, Arches delivers first-hand insights faster and more reliably than traditional networks.

“The 2024 investment gave us the push to grow faster, and this award shows how far we’ve come,” said Yoshitaka Sakamoto, Global Operations Director at Arches. “Today, Arches operates across eight global offices, and we are on course to reach 10 soon and 20 not long after. Each new office is more than a number; it’s a step toward building a truly global knowledge platform. This growth is fueled by the trust of our clients, the strength of our partners, and the passion of our team.”

Diversify Through Prime Talent Partners

Alongside expert matching, Arches is strengthened through Prime Talent Partners, a fast-growing service line connecting clients with senior professionals for longer-term and strategic roles.

“It’s inspiring to see how Prime Talent Partners has taken off in just one year,” said Shintaro “Teddy” Ishihara, Director of Arches Prime Talent Partners. “We’re helping leading funds and consulting firms find the right executives to drive their businesses forward. Our goal is for this business to become a second core pillar alongside expert interviews, and we will continue to grow as one team to deliver greater value to our clients.”

Looking Ahead

Building on this recognition, Arches will continue enhancing service quality, expanding its global footprint, and deepening partnerships worldwide. While this award marks an important milestone, it is just one step in a longer journey.

With a clear roadmap toward a 2028 IPO, Arches remains committed to sustainable growth and to creating long-term value for clients, experts, and investors across the globe.
