## About

Founded in 2022 and based in Fukuoka, Japan, Beads Co., Ltd. offers specialized hospice care services. In January 2025, Beads Co., Ltd. raised JPY 1 billion in Series A funding from Eight Roads Ventures and Norinchukin Capital. As of January 2025, the company is led by its CEO, Daisuke Yamazaki.

The company offers a specialized hospice residential service named Beads no Ie, designed to provide a homely atmosphere for individuals with terminal illnesses. The facility features a communal kitchen, private rooms with accessible bathing options, and the capacity to support various medical needs. The primary clientele includes patients and families who seek a supportive environment at the end of life, with services primarily available in the Fukuoka region of Japan.

Beads generates revenue through its hospice residential services, where clients pay for accommodation and care tailored to their needs. The pricing includes fees for room and board, daily care services, and additional medical support. Revenue is generated directly through transactions with clients or contracts with families, emphasizing a transactional model that focuses on high-quality care.

The organization plans to use the January 2025 funding to open new hospice facilities and expand their workforce.
