What Ecoya Consulting does

Ecoya Consulting is a private boutique consulting firm founded in 2019 and headquartered in Vancouver with a Tokyo office, serving technology startups and SMBs requiring cross-border strategic support. The firm offers four service lines: product consulting, business strategy, entrepreneurship mentoring, and AI implementation, with the latter covering strategy through deployment. Its go-to-market is direct, sales-led enterprise consulting with quote-based engagements and multilingual delivery (Japanese, English, Chinese).

The company's product surface includes the Ecoya Consulting core advisory service and PLATINE, a productized offering consisting of dedicated Mac Mini hardware located in Tokyo operating 24/7 with hardware-level VPN and bundled access to ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini. Ecoya does not build proprietary AI models; rather, it resells and integrates access to third-party frontier AI platforms through its own infrastructure. The broader portfolio also spans client projects across eSIM/telecom, Web3, AI labs, music platforms, publishing, hospitality SaaS, and Japan travel real estate.

The revenue model is professional services (project-based consulting) supplemented by the PLATINE AI infrastructure product. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; engagements are quote-based and tailored to individual clients. The firm has two named executives — Chunhui Miao (Representative Director) and Jedi Lu (Director and founder, Weibo co-founder) — operates with 1-10 employees, and was formally incorporated in Japan as 株式会社 Ecoya in February 2026. No external funding rounds or institutional investors have been disclosed.

Broad incumbents

• McKinsey & Company: Global management consulting giant serving tech and enterprise clients on strategy, digital, and AI transformation. Comparable because Ecoya competes for the same tech-startup strategy and AI implementation engagements, albeit at a much smaller scale and with a niche Asia-corridor focus.
• Bain & Company: Top-tier global management consultancy with strong tech, private equity, and Asia-Pacific practices. Comparable as a direct competitor for strategy and product consulting engagements with tech startups and growth-stage companies.
• Boston Consulting Group (BCG): Global strategy consulting leader with a dedicated BCG X digital and AI implementation arm. Comparable as a competitor for high-end AI strategy and digital transformation engagements with tech clients globally, including Japan.
• Accenture: Global technology and management consulting firm with deep AI, cloud, and digital transformation practices. Comparable as a competitor for enterprise AI implementation and product consulting work, though operating at vastly greater scale than Ecoya.
• A.T. Kearney (now Kearney): Global management consultancy with strong operations and technology practices serving tech and growth-stage companies. Comparable as a competitor for strategy and AI/digital engagements, with an established Asia-Pacific presence.

Direct peers

• Tokyo Consulting Firm: Japan-headquartered consulting firm providing management and technology consulting to Japanese and international clients. Comparable because both serve tech companies needing cross-border Japan strategy and execution support, making them the closest direct competitor in Ecoya's home geography.
• Slalom Consulting: Tech-focused management consultancy known for strategy-to-execution delivery with mid-market and tech clients. Comparable in business model (boutique-leaning consulting for tech companies) and overlapping AI and product consulting offerings.
• Fractal Analytics: AI-focused analytics and consulting firm helping enterprises deploy AI and data-driven solutions. Comparable as a direct competitor for AI strategy and implementation engagements, though Fractal is significantly larger and more enterprise-focused than Ecoya.

Emerging players

• Tiger Analytics: AI and analytics consulting firm focused on data science, ML, and AI implementation for enterprises. Comparable as a competitor in the AI implementation consulting space, with overlapping client profiles in tech and growth-stage companies.

Regional players
