Nihon M&A Center Inc. Enters Capital and Business Partnership with Bring Out Inc., Provider of AI-Powered Dialogue Analytics Services
Nihon M&A Center Holdings Inc., today announced that Nihon M&A Center Inc. (hereinafter, Nihon M&A Center), one of its consolidated subsidiaries, has entered a capital and business partnership with Bring Out Inc. (hereinafter, Bring Out), a leading provider of AI-powered analytics services of business dialogue data.
Objective of partnership
Since its founding, Bring Out has been pursuing the mission of assisting corporate clients in using dialogue data to transform their business management and operations. Its industry-leading tool “Bring Out” gathers and analyzes dialogue data generated in a variety of business negotiation meetings. More specifically, “Bring Out” assists clients in consolidating previously hard-to-track dialogue data generated inside and outside companies and seamlessly integrating those data into their CRM databases, enabling them to implement DX solutions across sales operations, increase a deal closure rate of M&A transactions, and make data-driven business decisions at a leadership level. For its innovative services, Bring Out was selected as one of the “100 Companies Creating Future Markets” by Nikkei X Trend (in 2025), and as one of the “100 Amazing Ventures” by Toyo Keizai Weekly (in 2024).
Nihon M&A Center has been using “Bring Out” since 2022 to identify and analyze critically important data, such as clients’ business lines and their business cases for selling their operations, out of thousands of hours of voice data generated in meetings between the company’s 600 M&A consultants and their clients.* This approach to visualizing dialogue data enables the company to put together more compelling proposals for clients.
Under the newly signed partnership, Nihon M&A Center combines its wealth of experience and expertise in M&A advisory with innovative generative AI and consulting solutions by Bring Out to create a robust system for visualizing and analyzing dialogue data in a manner less dependent on individual employees’ experience or skills. This arrangement will bring Nihon M&A Center and Bring Out closer together in making greater use of the latter’s AI-powered tool to enable the former to increase a deal closure rate of M&A transactions, empower its employees, and achieve greater operational productivity.
Naoki Takeuchi, President of Nihon M&A Center, said:
“We’ve been using “Bring Out” in our operations and have found it to be an excellent tool to identify and analyze key points and issues in hours of dialogues we have with our corporate clients. It enables us to offer best-in-class M&A advisory services to them. To make this already-effective tool more productive and robust, we’ve been working closely with Bring Out for some time. The continually upgraded “Bring Out” with the integration of AI and machine learning, including ChatGPT launched at the end of 2022, and the transformation of our internal business processes have put us in a better position to achieve our corporate vision. With this in mind, we’ve formed a stronger partnership with Bring Out, which includes the acquisition of stake in the company, to take our business operations to the next level at an even accelerated pace. We have a lot of respect and expectations for “Bring Out”. We have no doubt this partnership will enable us to achieve even greater productivity in matching prospective sellers and buyers and putting together win-win proposals for our clients. Furthermore, through this partnership, we intend to expand out M&A advisory services and play a bigger role in helping industrial clients bolster their business and maximize our enterprise value.”
Kei Nakano, President of Bring Out, said:
“Since its launch in 2022, Nihon M&A Center has been one of the strongest advocates for our “Bring Out” tool, providing us with invaluable insights and advice to make it more useful and robust. Exchanging ideas and insights based on real-world cases with Nihon M&A Center, which boasts industry-leading sales teams, has proven to be a great learning experience for us, helping us refine and upgrade our services—from a functional and operational perspective. This capital and business partnership, which is built on a wealth of real-world cases and insights we have gained to date, will enable us to make “Bring Out” an even greater productivity tool. We’re excited to have this opportunity to work more closely with Nihon M&A Center to use “Bring Out” AI-powered dialogue analytics solutions to organize real-world comments and feedback given daily by Nihon M&A Center’s diverse range of clients into a database for easier access and use. We appreciate this opportunity to partner with Nihon M&A Center toward achieving its mission of ‘helping corporate clients take advantage of M&A options to survive and thrive’ together.”
