be-FULL Inc. is pleased to announce that it has raised 100 million yen in a pre-Series A first closing through a third-party allocation of shares via the “Shinhan-GB Future Flow Investment Limited Partnership”, which is jointly operated by Global Brain Corporation and Shinhan Venture Investment Co., Ltd.
be-FULL’s mission is “to foster mutual affection between all people and organizations,” and it develops and provides “PX Cloud,” a platform that uses AI to analyze meeting data and other information to support management. Through features such as visualization of organizational issues, visualization and feedback on management skills, and AI-powered meeting minutes, it enables improvements in management capabilities at the daily work level that cannot be achieved through training alone.
Our solution has been implemented by major companies including the Toyota Group and the Panasonic Group, resulting in achievements such as an average monthly reduction of 9 hours in meeting time and a 40% increase in employee engagement. We have received high praise both domestically and internationally, including selection for the Microsoft Startup Support Program, representing Japan in the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry’s J-StarX program, selection for the Tokyo Metropolitan Government’s Startup Support Program, and winning the CIOReview APAC award.

Background of fundraising and future prospects
The challenges facing middle management in Japanese companies are becoming increasingly serious. The workload increases due to managers taking on the role of “playing managers,” management becomes more complex as they grapple with work-style reforms and harassment issues. Furthermore, the roles expected of managers are expanding year by year, including the need to implement management challenges such as the dissemination of MVV (Mission, Vision, and Values) and organizational reform at the operational level.
On the other hand, traditional management training and assessment services only provide temporary results and fail to offer sufficient solutions in terms of behavioral change at the workplace. be-FULL addresses this structural challenge with a unique approach that combines AI and technology, and is being utilized primarily by large corporations.
Our company will continue to strive to transform the role of managers within companies from “operational managers” to “decision-makers and motivators” who enhance performance.
Furthermore, in order to respond to diversifying work styles such as hybrid work and distributed teams, we aim to further evolve “PX Cloud” as the “operating system for management” in modern organizations, thereby contributing to the further growth of companies and to society.
