Company profile
researched Aug 2026株式会社 justInCaseTechnologies is a Tokyo-based insurance technology company that develops and operates joinsure, a SaaS cloud system for insurance operations. joinsure comprises modules for insurance solicitation/sales, policy administration and claims-request management, and is offered both as an insurer's core system (joinsure base) and as a distribution-support layer for platform companies (joinsure marketing). The company also runs an AI sales-support line for online insurance distribution, an AI agent service for corporate insurance agencies, and 少短設立Navi, a consulting service supporting the establishment of small-amount short-term insurance (SASTI) companies and insurance businesses.
The business grew out of the group's small-amount short-term insurance operations, where it released products described as Japan-firsts such as the P2P 'warikan' insurance, and it now applies that operational know-how and system stack to large insurers. Deployments span insurers, electric power companies, credit card issuers, an airline and consumer finance companies. Positioned as a behind-the-scenes provider, the company connects insurers seeking new distribution channels with platform operators wanting to sell embedded insurance to their own member bases.
Founding story
CEO Kazuya (Kazy) Hata previously worked as an actuary on insurance product development at a reinsurance company and encountered two structural obstacles: obtaining Financial Services Agency approvals and the insurance industry's legacy IT systems. Observing the parallel advance of cloud computing, he concluded emerging technology could address both, and in 2016 co-founded justInCase, Inc. with two partners to develop insurance products. Two years later, in May 2018, justInCaseTechnologies was established as the organization responsible for system development.
Business model
The company licenses joinsure as a SaaS insurance system to insurers and to platform companies that distribute insurance, with modules deployable individually (for example the standalone claims-intake form introduced in 2022) or as a full core system. Around this it sells marketing and sales-support services, an AI agent service for corporate agencies, and consulting for setting up small-amount short-term insurance businesses; a BPaaS model for insurance operations is offered together with Agrex.
Revenue derives from provision of the joinsure SaaS insurance system to insurers and platform operators, plus related marketing support, AI sales-support and business-establishment consulting services. The company states its first revenue was recorded in January 2021.
Traction
joinsure has been adopted by insurers and distribution partners including Loyalty Marketing, SBI Prism SASTI, Chubu Electric Power Miraiz Connect, Kansai Electric Power, UCS, VIEW Card, Asuka/Aqua/AEON small-amount short-term insurers, Tokio Marine X SASTI (as core system), JFR Card, Japan Airlines, Hokkaido Electric Power, Orico and au Small-Amount Short-Term Insurance. The company expects the number of end users served through joinsure to exceed one million during fiscal year 2025 and reports up to a 35% increase in conversion rates from its AI-based sales support.
Latest developments
In 2026 the company began providing joinsure to au Small-Amount Short-Term Insurance following establishment consulting, launched the joinsure AI insurance sales support series built on AI drop-off analysis, and released an AI agent service for corporate insurance agencies aligned with the revised Insurance Business Act taking effect in June 2026. It also refreshed its mission and values in February 2026, and its CEO spoke at OLIS 2026 Spring for Asian insurance industry participants.

Market position
The company describes itself as a leading participant in Japan's insurtech sector, building on its group's record of launching novel small-amount short-term insurance products and now supplying systems to major insurers, including as a core system at Tokio Marine X Small-Amount Short-Term Insurance.
The company combines direct operating experience from the group's small-amount short-term insurance business, including product launches described as Japan-firsts such as P2P 'warikan' insurance, with a SaaS system capable of serving as an insurer's core system rather than only a front-end. It pairs system delivery with regulatory and business-establishment consulting for new insurance ventures and adds generative-AI features aimed at online sales conversion and agency compliance.
Technology
joinsure is a cloud-based, SaaS insurance operations platform covering solicitation, policy administration and claims management, designed for fully digital insurance products and API-based integration with partner platforms for embedded insurance. Recent additions apply generative AI: an AI 'drop-off analysis' capability for improving online sales conversion, chatbot-based claims intake, and an AI agent service for corporate agencies. The engineering organization works with Server-Side Kotlin, hosting related community events.
Go-to-market
Direct enterprise sales to insurers and platform companies, complemented by a partner system with major solution providers (Dentsu Soken, GNUS and Agrex) for integration and business development, a capital and business alliance with Agrex, and a business alliance with Aioi Nissay Dowa Insurance. The company also uses consulting entry points such as 少短設立Navi, trade press coverage, industry speaking engagements (including OLIS 2026 Spring and e-Commerce Fair Tokyo 2026) and study sessions for overseas specialist groups.
Insurance companies, including small-amount short-term insurers and large carriers; platform operators such as card issuers, utilities, retailers and travel/airline businesses that distribute embedded insurance to their customers; and corporate insurance agencies.
Geography
Headquartered at 1-8-1 Nihonbashi-Kayabacho, Chuo-ku, Tokyo, Japan, serving Japanese insurers and platform operators; engagement with Asian insurance markets has included a study session for a Singapore specialist group and a speaking slot at the pan-Asian OLIS 2026 Spring event.
History
Founded 23 May 2018 as the system-development arm of the justInCase group, the company raised a Series A of JPY 860 million in 2019 and began supplying joinsure externally, starting with Loyalty Marketing in March 2020 and a SaaS digital insurance platform for insurers from January 2021 — the month of its first revenue. Client rollouts followed across utilities and card issuers (Chubu Electric Power Miraiz Connect, Kansai Electric Power, UCS, VIEW Card) and small-amount short-term insurers. In November 2022 joinsure was selected as the core system for the Tokio Marine Nichido SASTI preparatory company, with production operation of the core system starting in 2023, the same year the 少短設立Navi establishment-support business launched. In 2024 the company announced a partner program with Dentsu Soken, GNUS and Agrex, deployments at JAL and Hokkaido Electric Power, a capital and business alliance with Agrex, and completion of Series B funding totaling about JPY 1.5 billion including venture debt; founding affiliate justInCase became a wholly owned Sony Financial Group subsidiary in December 2024 while joinsure provision continued. Subsequent milestones include Orico (2025), a refreshed mission and values, au Small-Amount Short-Term Insurance (2026), an AI sales-support series and an AI agent service for corporate agencies (2026).
