VisasQ
VisasQ runs Japan's largest expert network platform connecting 800,000+ specialists to 2,200+ corporate clients for one-hour interviews and surveys.
VisasQ
VisasQ was founded in 2013 as a spot consulting platform, a model it pioneered in Japan. The company operates a two-sided marketplace matching corporate clients with vetted experts across 500+ industries and job categories. Wealth origin is not publicly disclosed; the firm's primary business is providing expert network services, not managing family capital. The platform connects clients with experts for one-hour interviews, online surveys, and longer-term advisory engagements. Confirmed clients include Panasonic, Mitsubishi Electric, Hitachi, NEC, Fujifilm Business Innovation, KDDI, and Sumitomo Mitsui Construction (per firm website, 2026). VisasQ serves companies in manufacturing, IT, chemicals, real estate, and other sectors. The network spans 190 countries with 570,000+ international experts; the firm has seven global offices for time-zone coverage. VisasQ acquired US competitor Coleman in November 2021, expanding its international reach. The platform now facilitates roughly 120,000 expert matching sessions per fiscal year (March 2024–February 2025). Recent product launches include an AI-assisted interview feature (February 2026) and a partnership with the Eight business card app (March 2026). The firm also offers a training program, VisasQ L&D, launched September 2025. VisasQ's structural differentiator is its pure-play expert network model — it does not provide traditional asset management or family office services. The firm acts as a marketplace intermediary, not an investment vehicle. Its disclosed relationship to any family office or private wealth pool remains unclear from public sources.

Which sectors does VisasQ explicitly avoid?
