ONDO Inc. (Ondo Co., Ltd.) x Rebase Inc. Sign Business Partnership Agreement | Launch New Service "instabase x Co-Creation"

ONDO Inc. (Ondo Co., Ltd. / Headquarters: Osaka City, Osaka Prefecture / Representative Director: Go Toriyama / hereinafter "ONDO"), a creative company with the vision of "Co-creating opportunities for people to connect," and Rebase Inc. (Headquarters: Shibuya City, Tokyo / Representative Director: Kai Sato), which operates the rental space matching platform "instabase," have entered into a business partnership agreement effective April 1, 2026. The two companies have launched their collaborative initiative "instabase x Co-Creation."

This collaboration merges Rebase's space matching infrastructure with ONDO's event production capabilities, offering a one-stop solution for event venue search, planning, and operation.

Background: The "Fragmentation" Challenge Faced by Event Planners

For corporate events such as internal events, anniversary parties, conferences, and exhibitions, there are typically 5-6 separate communications with vendors for venues, catering, photography, and MCs. This has led to a significant portion of the working hours for corporate department staff (general affairs, HR, PR, corporate planning, marketing, etc.) being spent on coordination.

"I was instructed to hold an event, but I don't know where to start," or "I booked the venue myself, and ended up handling all the on-site troubleshooting myself" – these are common sentiments.

Although venue and planning/operation are inherently linked, they had to be arranged separately until now, placing a considerable burden on event planners. The two companies have entered into this partnership to offer a service that can solve this "fragmentation" comprehensively.

Features of This Collaboration

1. All-Inclusive Service

A single team will handle everything from venue search to planning, progress management, and on-site operations. Planners are freed from the tasks of ordering from and coordinating with multiple companies, allowing them to focus on their core responsibilities. Both venue and planning/operation costs will be consolidated into a single invoice, reducing accounting and reimbursement complexities.

2. Consultation Available Even Without Definitive Plans

It's perfectly fine if the event timing and budget are not yet decided. Dedicated staff will work with you to organize your ideas, even if you're unsure where to begin. You can easily inquire through our free consultation form, which takes about 1 minute to complete.

3. Supported by an Experienced Professional Team

ONDO's Co-Creation service offers event and creative planning, production, and operation services cultivated over 15 years. Professionals with extensive on-site experience will bring your plans to life, from conception to execution.

This service is available to everyone, not just instabase members.

Usage Flow (4 Steps)

1 Free Consultation: Start with a simple form input, taking about 1 minute.

2 Hearing & Direction Refinement: Our staff will carefully refine your input and other requests.

3 Proposal for Planning & Venue: We will propose the optimal plan according to your budget.

4 Preparation & On-site Operation: Leave everything to us, including on-site reception and troubleshooting.

Planners can approach the event day feeling like just another attendee.

Strategic Significance of This Partnership for ONDO

This partnership marks a significant step for ONDO into a new phase of growth.

Under Representative Director CEO Go Toriyama, ONDO has been actively expanding its diverse business operations with the "Co-Creation Business" at its core, with Tsuyoshi Fujimoto appointed as Director COO effective May 1, 2026. This business partnership with Rebase is central to that strategy.

The visions of both companies, "Where It Starts" and "Co-creating opportunities for people to connect," are deeply aligned. Through this partnership, ONDO aims to realize its vision in a broader scope and position "Co-Creation," its core business, as a starting point for new expansion, supporting corporate brand strategies and projects from the planning stage.

For details on ONDO's business strategy under the new structure and the appointment of the Director COO, please refer to the separate press release "ONDO Inc. (Ondo Co., Ltd.), Tsuyoshi Fujimoto Appointed Director COO | New Structure to Accelerate Six New Business Areas Including Regional Co-creation and Overseas Expansion" (Distributed by PR TIMES on June 2, 2026).

Comment from Tsuyoshi Fujimoto, Director COO, ONDO Inc. (Ondo Co., Ltd.)

"instabase is a space matching platform listing over 47,000 spaces nationwide.

For any event, there are people who conceive the idea of 'let's do this' before choosing a venue, and people who plan and drive it forward. The processes upstream of venue selection, as well as the operations after the venue is decided, are equally important.

By leveraging ONDO's event production and creation expertise to handle the 'upstream' planning and 'on-site' operations that precede the 'venue' matched by instabase, and combining the roles of both companies, we can offer customers a seamless experience from planning to the event day. We believe we can become partners who expand each other's business domains.

For instabase members, this adds the option to consult on planning and operations in addition to venue booking, enhancing member value. Most importantly, we believe that being able to "consult holistically from the initial idea to venue selection and on-site operations" will be of great value to our customers.

We aim to make events simpler and of higher quality, and to create "opportunities for people to connect." We view this partnership with Rebase Inc. as a crucial step for ONDO under its new structure, and we will combine our strengths to deliver greater value to our customers."

Comment from Kazunori Yodomaru, Senior Director, Product Division, Rebase Inc.

"As a platform that matches spaces nationwide, instabase has expanded the places where people gather and meet. On the other hand, from the perspective of the entire event hosting experience for our customers, there are areas that cannot be fully addressed by simply providing a venue.

This business partnership with ONDO is an initiative to support the planning and on-site operations that precede and follow the venue, together with ONDO's Co-Creation. With a unified point of contact for venue search, planning, and operations, event planners who were previously overwhelmed with coordination can now focus on their core work.

ONDO's vision of "Co-creating opportunities for people to connect" aligns with our mission of "Get Together / Spreading Harmony." By combining the strengths of both companies, we will continue to expand "where it all begins," which is born from places where people gather."
