- Kaizen Platform, Inc. is a Tokyo-headquartered company primarily engaged in providing digital transformation platforms and services aimed at improving user experience (UX) and marketing effectiveness for businesses. Founded in 2013, Kaizen Platform operates mainly in Japan and the United States, serving clients through two core segments: the Site Solution segment, which delivers UX optimization solutions to enhance website conversion rates and comprehensive digital transformation support; and the Kaizen Video segment, which produces video marketing solutions tailored to client needs. The company’s main products include its user interface improvement platform that fosters collaboration among brands, agencies, and freelancers to create, test, and optimize digital experiences, along with enterprise marketing solutions and video creative services. Kaizen Platform also offers cloud-based DX solutions such as KAIZEN Engine and video utilization support services.
In the most recent developments, Kaizen Platform secured a significant Series A funding round of USD 21 million led by New Enterprise Associates, with participation from major investors including Accel, Andreessen Horowitz, and others. This infusion aims to accelerate the company’s expansion in public sector digital services across the United States, where its technology now supports over 50 public agencies in 17 states, serving more than 30 million residents. The company has demonstrated growth with a 6.2% sales increase in the first nine months of 2024, despite encountering net losses, and plans to continue expanding its digital transformation offerings and public service modernization. Additionally, it has formed recent strategic partnerships with multiple US counties to implement its digital resident service platforms, focusing on licensing, booking, payment, and transit systems modernization.
Kaizen Platform targets industries that require digital transformation support including corporate web businesses and the public sector, addressing user experience improvement and operational efficiency through AI-driven marketing technology and video production.
