About Shunsaku Sagami

Shunsaku Sagami is the founder and CEO of M&A Research Institute, a Tokyo-based M&A advisory firm leveraging AI in advising its clients.

It focuses on small and mid-sized businesses looking to be acquired, such as companies whose owners are old and there are no successors in the family.

The company disrupted the market by charging fees to the seller only after the successful completion of the deal and not upfront.

After graduating from Kobe University, Sagami worked in advertising and established an IT venture in 2015, which he sold. That experience inspired him to start his M&A advisory business in 2018.

The company listed on the Growth bourse for startups of the Tokyo Stock Exchange in June 2022.
