Z Venture Capital (“ZVC”) has made an additional investment in Commune Inc.(“Commune”), which supports the building of communities that connect organizations and people through the development and provision of its community success platform “Commune,” following our previous round.

We are living in an era where rapid advances in AI have brought humanity’s true nature into sharper focus. Against this backdrop, we believe the value of communities—which connect people and unite their passions and aspirations—will only continue to grow.

Commune deeply understands this value more than anyone else and is driving transformation in companies and society through the concept of “trust-driven management,” which fosters trust with customers and employees and leverages that trust in their business. Our additional investment is a strong endorsement by ZVC of their long-term growth and vision.

In addition, this month (September 2025), in partnership with Askul, a member of the LY corporation, They have launched an invitation-only online community called “LOHACO PARK” for fans of the daily goods shopping site “LOHACO,” and have begun a trial run of the platform.
