For startups
LINE SCALE UP connects high-potential startups with LINE's technology, expertise, and business opportunities. Here's what we bring, and what we've built so far.
01 / What we look for
You've lived the problem. You understand the intricacies of the industry you're building for, often better than anyone else in the room.
…and you attract the right builders
Researchers who understand emerging shifts
Designers who decode human behavior
Marketers who understand distribution channels
You truly understand your customers: who they are, what they do every day, and why they would come back.
02 / Benefits
Explore ways to reach customers through LINE's services, channels, and business ecosystem.
Technology support and opportunities for API credits to bring new use cases to life on LINE.
Work with relevant LINE teams on product, market, and growth challenges.
Meet potential collaborators, business partners, and investors across the startup ecosystem.

Opportunities to present at Demo Day and be featured in the LINE SCALE UP Journal.
Specific credits, distribution opportunities, and support are subject to eligibility, collaboration scope, and approval.
03 / Past collaborations
Every collaboration starts with a question worth answering. Results appear here only after they're verified and approved by the founders involved.
What if managing expenses could become effortless?
Exploring high-frequency expense workflows on LINE, with API support designed to help test user demand and product value.
PaypersFirst community meetup
An accounting meetup that filled up like a K-pop concert.
LINE SCALE UP helped Paypers host its very first meetup with co-founder Ploy Anunya Sahussarungsi, making accounting a little less intimidating for small business owners who already do pretty much everything themselves. The result: a full house at LINE Park, with owners bringing real problems, real questions and real experiences.
It's the path we want more startups to take: not just building for their users, but building with them.
