OpenMoney, a service operated by JUKKI Co., Ltd., functions as a comprehensive salary and financial information database, addressing the cultural hesitation in Japan to discuss monetary matters openly. The platform was introduced in October 2020 with the mission to make information related to personal finances more transparent. It operates on a user-generated content model where individuals can anonymously share details about their compensation and assets, and in return, gain free access to the database.
The service was founded by Sho Sugiyama, who currently serves as the CEO of JUKKI. Sugiyama's background includes a degree in law from Keio University and experience at Nomura Securities Co., Ltd. This is his second entrepreneurial venture, having previously founded and sold Unistyle Inc., a human resources services company. This prior experience in the HR sector likely provided insights into the information gap concerning career and salary data, which informed the creation of OpenMoney.
OpenMoney's core offering is a database of corporate salaries, benefits, and user-provided reviews. It primarily targets professionals seeking career advancement, individuals planning their finances, and students entering the job market. The platform allows users to browse corporate information by industry and view rankings based on average annual salaries. By October 2020, just one year after its launch, the service had surpassed 10,000 registered users, a number that grew to over 100,000 by early 2024. In March 2024, the company expanded its services by launching "OpenMoney Investment Edition," which focuses on data related to personal asset formation. The business generates revenue by connecting its user base with companies, similar to models used by other career information platforms.
