## About

Founded in 2006 and based in Hamada, Japan, Emer.inc. operates as a provider of live sports coverage and streaming services. In May 2025, Emer.inc raised an undisclosed amount in seed funding co-led by new investors Beta Venture Capital and iFund. The company's main offering, EMER, is a remote live-streaming service created to help semi-professional and amateur sports clubs overcome the difficulties in televising competitive games. Emer also provides UPSTAR, a platform for fan communities that links athletes and supporters. Through UPSTAR, players can engage with fans and share their stories, creating a supporting community that goes beyond the bounds of traditional sports. Moreover, the firm also provides sports SNS support projects. The company will use the May 2025 funding to expand its number of players available and enhance the in-app content, providing fans with a deeper, more continuous experience in supporting their favorite athletes.
