Japan M&A Incubation Inc. is an advisory firm established in May 2024 by co-founders Takumi Yura and Takuma Sakamoto. The firm specializes in supporting companies through what it terms "non-continuous growth," focusing on M&A, strategic consulting, and executive talent acquisition. The founders bring extensive experience from the finance and consulting sectors. CEO Takumi Yura previously worked at Deutsche Securities and McKinsey before joining the Carlyle Group. COO Takuma Sakamoto's background includes roles in the investment banking and capital market divisions at Merrill Lynch Japan Securities (now BofA Securities) and later at the Carlyle Group.

The company's business model integrates three core service areas: strategic consulting, M&A advisory, and management-level recruitment. The consulting division assists clients with strengthening CFO/CSO functions and developing capital strategies. The M&A advisory unit provides end-to-end support, from strategy and sourcing to execution and post-merger integration (PMI). The third pillar focuses on recruiting high-caliber executive talent to drive corporate growth. This integrated approach is designed to provide comprehensive support for clients, which include publicly listed companies and investment funds. The firm's revenue model for M&A advisory is primarily based on the Lehman formula, a success-fee structure common in the industry, with a minimum fee of 25 million yen.

A key part of the company's strategy is the development of a proprietary platform that combines professional expertise with generative AI. The goal is to systematize the knowledge of its professional staff, creating a more accessible and efficient management support infrastructure. In June 2025, the company announced it had raised JPY 300 million in a funding round led by Global Brain. This capital is intended to accelerate the development of its AI-powered platform and to strengthen its professional team, with a particular focus on enhancing its support for startup M&A.
