Tokyo, Japan, July 16, 2025 — Robot Consulting Co., Ltd., a Japanese platform service provider specializing in HR solutions, has priced its initial public offering (IPO) of 3,750,000 American Depositary Shares (ADSs) at $4 per ADS. The company expects to raise $15 million in gross proceeds from the offering. Trading is set to commence on July 17, 2025, on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol "LAWR" [1].

The IPO represents a relatively small-sized offering by U.S. market standards, indicating either a niche market player or an early-stage growth company. Robot Consulting plans to use the proceeds for talent recruitment, R&D investment, facility expansion, and working capital. The company has outlined a clear allocation plan for the $15 million, prioritizing talent acquisition, R&D investment, infrastructure expansion, and working capital [1].

The IPO employs a firm commitment underwriting arrangement with D. Boral Capital as the lead underwriter, reducing the company's capital-raising risk. The underwriters have a 45-day option to purchase an additional 562,500 ADSs, which could potentially increase total proceeds if exercised [1].

Robot Consulting's expansion ambitions beyond its core Japanese HR market will require careful execution to achieve growth objectives with the relatively modest capital raised. The company's focus on human resource solutions and planned expansion into legal technology and the metaverse indicates a diversification strategy that spans traditional services and emerging technologies [1].
