Sep 2018Strategic investmentKakao Mobility (lead)$13MKakao Mobility, the ride-hailing arm of South Korea's Kakao, made a strategic investment of about $13.5 million in the Japanese taxi-hailing company JapanTaxi, now Mobility Technologies, in September 2018. The round came two months after NTT Docomo provided about $20.3 million in a separate capital and business alliance. The investment gave the Korean mobility platform a foothold in Japan's taxi market and aligned the two companies on ride-hailing technology and services. The company was founded in 1977 as a taximeter software provider and rebranded as Zenkoku Taxi in 2011 when it pivoted to a ride-hailing app, later becoming JapanTaxi. It operates one of Japan's largest taxi-hailing platforms and in-vehicle advertising tablets, and later combined with the DeNA taxi app business to form Mobility Technologies.
