bitBiome develops a data-driven platform for bio-manufacturing centered on its single-cell microbial genome sequencing technology (bit-MAP®) and a proprietary microbial gene database (bit-GEM) that has grown from 2 billion to over 3 billion genes. The company pairs bioinformatics, machine learning/AI, and high-throughput screening including robotics to enable enzyme discovery, enzyme and metabolic-pathway design, and microbial strain engineering via platforms such as bit-QED and bit-EVO. It has expanded leadership with experienced global hires and forged commercial partnerships and CMO ties to support end-to-end research-to-manufacturing workflows, including collaborations with Tojo Vikas International, Kyoritsu Seiyaku, and Sanwa Starch. bitBiome has been selected for large public projects (e.g., NEDO) and published research using bit-MAP® with multiple research groups, and has begun U.S. sampling to expand its database. The company plans to use recent funding to further grow bit-GEM, advance its SENS-AI genome-biology model, expand labs for data collection, and scale global business development, and has reported cumulative funding of about ¥7.0 billion.

Founded in 2011, Tokyo-based Mujin provides MujinOS, a software platform that unifies robot vision, motion planning and real-time digital twin technology to automate complex manufacturing and logistics tasks. The system controls mixed fleets of robotic arms, AGVs and storage robots under a single architecture, eliminating custom system integration and accelerating deployment. Current applications span depalletizing, palletizing, piece picking, truck unloading, warehouse execution and fleet management. With the new funding, the company will pivot from project-based integration to a more scalable product-led model centered on MujinOS, expand its product lineup and accelerate global rollout in Europe and North America. Resources will also go toward enhancing plant- and warehouse-level digital twins and hiring additional world-class engineers to advance next-generation physical-AI capabilities. Including the latest round, Mujin has raised a cumulative ¥596 billion (≈US$4 billion) in equity and debt financing.

The platform integrates with SFA/CRM/MA tools such as Salesforce and HubSpot and increasingly uses AI to automate sales outreach. Since launching about two years ago the service has been adopted by more than 400 customers and achieved ARR of ¥2.0 billion. Customers report strong outcomes in press materials, including examples of roughly 200–300% increases in revenue and sizable improvements in meeting- and conversion-related metrics. The company plans to build new business domains that apply intent data to marketing and hiring, expanding beyond pure sales support. Sales Marker has also added senior hires (CFO, CHRO, CDO) to support scaling and further product and go-to-market development. Sales Marker develops and provides the intent‑sales SaaS product “Sales Marker,” which combines an approximately 5 million‑record corporate database with corporate intent data to surface companies actively seeking a service. The platform derives intent signals from web search behavior to enable timely, targeted approaches to the right department and decision‑maker, aiming to improve meeting conversion and win rates. The company positions itself as Japan’s first intent‑sales SaaS and says it has supported over 350 corporate customers since product release, achieving rapid growth within about one year.
