About Sollective
We’re Sollective and our mission is to empower Japan with a new breed of freelancers.
「Prove the real value of freelancers.」
We’re serious about:
- Building tools to make freelancers’ businesses easier to run
- Making sure that all companies, big and small can benefit from freelancers’ unique skills and experiences
- …and of course growing stronger together as freelancers.
We’re an HRTech company founded in Japan in 2020, and we operate Sollective, an all-in-one freelancing platform and service for top freelancers:
- All freelancers and companies on Sollective will have the tools to manage contracting, billing, and manage their clients or freelancer (even if they’re not on Sollective).
- We screen both freelancers and companies, and those who pass our screening can directly connect for the best projects and opportunities. In addition, fully screened members get access to exclusive community chats, events, and benefits.
Some key highlights about Sollective’s achievements:
- Recent successful raise of Pre A round of JPY 350,000,000 (Cumulative total raise of over JPY 420M) out raising HR tech startups in similar phase in Japan.
