• AstroX

  Participated · Series A · Sep 2024

  AstroX is a Japanese private space startup founded in May 2022 that is building a Rockoon system, in which a balloon carries a rocket to high altitude before launch, to provide low-cost, high-frequency and rapid-response small-satellite deployment. Headquartered in Minamisoma, Fukushima Prefecture, the company pursues the vision of restoring “Japan as No. 1” in space development. Demand for small-satellite launches is rising sharply, yet Japan currently depends almost entirely on foreign launchers; AstroX aims to fill this gap domestically. In December 2025 the firm successfully conducted its first launcher experiment, validating separation mechanics for its rocket mount. Proceeds from its Series A financing will be used to accelerate Rockoon R&D and expand engineering talent, with the goal of reaching space by 2026. Total Series A funding now amounts to ¥2.32 billion, providing capital for continued technology development and operational scaling. No revenue or customer metrics were disclosed in the article.

Financially, immedio has raised capital to support product development and marketing for new areas, with a cumulative funding total reported at about ¥500 million. immedio provides a one-line-code service that lets website visitors book sales appointments directly from inquiry pages, targeting higher connect and conversion rates for inside sales.

The company ran multiple PoCs from March onward: a large SaaS customer's estimate-request form saw商談化率 rise from about 60% to 80%, and a dental-services client converted roughly 70% of auto-acquired meetings into orders. Founder Hidetaka Hamada (浜田英揮) previously worked at Mitsui & Co. for ten years, led bitFlyer’s U.S. office, and managed Sansan’s “Bill One” product. immedio officially launched and has positioned itself against overseas competitors such as Chili Piper.
