Organize, an AI (artificial intelligence) platform startup founded by a Korean national, will be listed on Japan's Tokyo Stock Exchange. It is a rare case for a VC (venture capital)-backed startup founded by a Korean national, rather than a subsidiary of a Korean-listed company, to be listed in Japan.
According to industry sources on the 2nd, AI platform company Organize received approval for a new listing on the Growth Market of the Tokyo Stock Exchange on the 3rd last month. The Growth Market is equivalent to Korea's KOSDAQ market. The scheduled listing date is November 4, from which day Organize shares will be traded on the Tokyo Stock Exchange.
Organize is an AI startup founded by Lee Chang-su (CEO) in the United States in 2017. The company is developing solutions that allow businesses to select and immediately apply more than 100 generative AI solutions, such as document-based answer generation, automatic meeting minutes creation, and contract review, as well as enterprise AI agent vibe coding platforms.
Since its founding, Organize has conducted business primarily in the United States, Korea, and Japan. As of the end of June, 240 companies are using Organize's services. Deloitte Thomas MIC Economic Research Institute also evaluated it as the top-revenue company in the low-code/no-code platform field specialized in AI app development in Japan in 2024.
It is extremely rare for a startup founded by a Korean entrepreneur to be listed in Japan. Excluding Nexon, there are LINE (2016), EMnet Japan (2018), and JSecurity (2025), but these are evaluated as having different significance for listing because they are subsidiaries of NAVER, EMnet, and Jiranjigyo Group, respectively.
Organize plans to use this listing as a new starting point to focus on product enhancement, expanding its customer base through strengthening direct sales and partner systems, and promoting company-wide adoption and cross-selling among existing customers. The company stated that it will accelerate its global business based on the expansion know-how accumulated in markets where it has already entered.
Lee Chang-soo, CEO of Organize, said, "What Organize has done is to help companies move beyond the stage of trying generative AI as a test and using it in their daily work, and we will continue to focus on that task." He added, "Based on products and know-how verified in Japan, the United States, and Korea, we will enable more companies to change how they work with AI."
