## About

Established in 2020 and based in Tokyo, Japan, NineEdge Co., Ltd. engages in the development of a service that allows athletes to utilise technology and data science for improvement and training support. As of 2022, Kazuya Watanabe is the CEO of the company. In November 2022, NineEdge Inc. raised JPY 60 million in seed funding from Anobaka, Dogan Beta, and Samurai Incubate.

The company provides ForceSense (Beta version), a technology that enables professional athletes, amateur athletes, and coaches, including elementary school students, to use video analysis and data measurement functions on smartphones via advanced visualisation of player characteristics and individuality through machine learning, providing insights. The firm assists with training for improvement, the PDCA cycle, and habituation.

The organisation plans to use the November 2022 funds for product development, planning, sales, recruitment, and support for the official release of its digital sports training platform. Additionally, the organisation intends to include a function in its product that automatically recommends improvement points based on video analysis, as well as a function that automatically suggests recommended training based on the analysis results to develop the athlete's strengths.
