LayerX is a Tokyo-based AI SaaS company automating Japan's notoriously paper-heavy corporate back-office workflows. Its flagship Bakuraku platform automates expense management, invoice processing, and corporate card operations for more than 15,000 Japanese companies.
Founded in 2018, LayerX applies large language models to extract data from receipts, contracts, and Japanese forms, then routes approvals through native integrations with enterprise systems. The company hit 10,000 customers in early 2024 and grew to 15,000 by April 2025, with headcount nearly doubling to 430 employees.
In September 2025 LayerX raised a $100 million Series B led by TCV — one of the largest Series B rounds ever for a 7-year-old Japanese startup — bringing total funding to $192M across four rounds. Capital is being deployed to expand AI capabilities and pursue international markets.
