Herix

Herix Inc. is a Japanese company founded in 2024 by Jo Nakamura that develops and operates "Aidiligence," an AI-powered SaaS platform designed to streamline the due diligence process in M&A transactions. The platform addresses the increasing need for efficient and quantitative analysis in the initial stages of investment consideration, a process often burdened by manual work and a shortage of highly specialized personnel.

Aidiligence allows users to upload large volumes of documents from target companies in bulk. The AI then summarizes, labels, and investigates the data, helping to identify items for confirmation and reducing the man-hours and subjective nature of due diligence work. This enables investment professionals to focus on more critical, high-level decision-making. The business model is primarily SaaS, providing its service to M&A advisory firms,事業会社 (operating companies), and investment firms.

Since its founding, Herix has actively formed strategic capital and business alliances to enhance its service and expand its reach. In June 2025, the company announced partnerships with NYC Inc., LegalOn Technologies, law firm ZeLo, and the accounting firm Aclear. These collaborations aim to integrate legal and financial expertise into the platform, improving the efficiency and accuracy of screening processes for M&A candidates and other investments. The company has secured seed funding from investors including NYC, On&board, and Zelo Japan.
