ON&BOARD Inc. (Head Office: Minato-ku, Tokyo; Co-CEOs: Masato Shimodaira and Kousuke Nakayama; hereinafter “ON&BOARD”) is pleased to announce that its portfolio company, LobbyAI Inc. (Head Office: Shibuya-ku, Tokyo; CEO: Kyotaro Takahashi; hereinafter “LobbyAI”), which develops and provides AI solutions for government and political affairs, received two corporate awards — the Dentsu Award and the JERA Award — at the joint entrepreneur-investor management retreat “Incubate Camp 18th” held on October 2–3, 2025.

Incubate Camp is a two-day, residential acceleration program where seed- and early-stage entrepreneurs team up with general partners and partner-class venture capitalists (VCs) to intensively refine their business plans. We are truly delighted that LobbyAI achieved outstanding results by winning two corporate awards on this prestigious stage, where Japan’s leading investors and companies gather.

ON&BOARD invested in LobbyAI in the pre-seed round in February 2025, recognizing the company’s strong technological capabilities and business vision in tackling digital transformation (DX) within the highly specialized domain of government and political information analysis and lobbying support. This recognition demonstrates that LobbyAI’s solutions are highly valued for their social relevance and future potential, and we are confident that the company will continue to achieve remarkable growth.

Moving forward, ON&BOARD will continue to leverage its expertise and network to support LobbyAI in building constructive relationships between governments, corporations, and citizens, and in creating a new infrastructure for public information analysis.
