## About

Established in 2020 and based in Tokyo, Japan, itowa, formerly known as Swell, Inc., offers a digital platform that allows people to send condolences and mourn their loved ones at any time and from any location. In October 2022, Swell, Inc. raised an undisclosed amount in seed funding from new investor Quantum Leaps Ventures. As of October 2022, the firm is being represented by Mitsuru Sakamoto, as its director.

The company provides a forum for people to provide condolences, incense books, and offerings to funeral homes even when they are not physically present at the venue. People can also upload images of the departed with messages to be displayed in funeral homes, have photo albums published, post, publish, and browse obituary information, and perform other related services.

The company intends to use the October 2022 funds raised to accelerate service development and business promotion.
