About RUN.EDGE

RUN.EDGE Limited is a technology company that provides a video analysis platform as a SaaS solution for the sports and education industries. The company originated as an internal project at Fujitsu in 2014 before being established in 2018 as a spin-off, with investment from Fujitsu and Skylight Consulting Inc. The founder and CEO is Atsushi Oguchi, who led the project from its inception at Fujitsu. His experience in software development, marketing, and business planning at Fujitsu was instrumental in launching the venture, which was driven by the idea of creating a more active viewing experience by allowing users to find and see specific scenes within videos.

The company's business model is based on providing its video analysis applications to professional sports teams and educational institutions through a SaaS subscription. Its core technology allows for high-speed scene searching and playback, which enables efficient video data editing and analysis. This enhances team collaboration and communication by allowing not just analysts but also the athletes themselves to engage with the video content on their own devices.

RUN.EDGE offers several products, including "PITCHBASE" for baseball and "FL-UX" for sports like soccer and basketball. "PITCHBASE" enables detailed search and analysis by attaching data such as pitch type and speed to every pitch in a game video. The platform has achieved the top market share in Major League Baseball (MLB). "FL-UX" is used for analyzing tactics and player performance. The company's technology is also being applied to the education sector with services like "TAGURU," which allows for the analysis of classroom footage.
