• Aiming raised 1.5 billion yen in 2011, a year the company was founded, and 600 million yen in 2012. So the total amount is 2.4 billion yen with the current round, which is very large scale for a Japanese startup. Several large scale of exits by game developers have taken place recently. Aiming may aim to follow in the not so far future.
