About Bravesoft

Founded in 2005 by Eiji Sugasawa, bravesoft inc. is a technology firm that has carved a niche in mobile application development and event technology. Sugasawa, who serves as the CEO, launched the company at the age of 22 immediately after graduating from Hosei University's Faculty of Information Sciences. His entrepreneurial journey began during his university years as a student engineer, where a system he developed generated significant sales, sparking his desire to create a company that could achieve great things like Honda or Sony.

The company's business is structured around two primary pillars: partner products and proprietary products. The partner product division operates on a collaborative or "co-creation" model, working with clients from the concept design phase through to post-launch growth. This approach has led to the development of over 1,800 apps, including high-profile projects for clients such as the Prime Minister's Office of Japan, TVer, Benesse Corporation, and B-R 31 ICE CREAM CO., LTD. This client-funded development constitutes a significant revenue stream for the company.

The second pillar involves a suite of in-house SaaS products, prominently featuring its "eventech" solutions, a term trademarked by bravesoft combining "event" and "technology". The flagship product in this category is "eventos," an all-in-one platform for managing physical, online, and hybrid events. It provides features for website creation, visitor management, ticketing, live streaming, and business matchmaking. Other proprietary products include "Live! anket," a real-time web-based polling system, and "Appvisor," a support tool for application development. Revenue from these products is generated through subscription and usage fees.

Bravesoft has expanded its global footprint with subsidiaries in Vietnam and China. The company has achieved several milestones, including significant funding rounds totaling over 1.5 billion JPY and receiving multiple Good Design Awards for its products like eventos and AI StLike. Recently, the firm has been actively integrating AI into its services to enhance features like participant segmentation and content recommendation and has ventured into developing for new platforms like the Apple Vision Pro.
