Global Brain has made an additional investment as the lead investor in SUPER STUDIO Inc. (SUPER STUDIO), a provider of an integrated commerce platform “ecforce,” through 31VENTURES – Global Brain – Growth I Project (Growth I Project), the JPY 30 billion venture investment project jointly managed with Mitsui Fudosan Co., Ltd. (Mitsui Fudosan), mainly targeting growth stage startups.

Since its initial investment in SUPER STUDIO in 2022, Global Brain has noticed a growing trend among businesses to launch e-commerce services to maximize their revenue potential. In this evolving landscape, SUPER STUDIO has transformed its flagship product “ecforce,” into an integrated commerce platform that goes beyond traditional e-commerce, providing support to various types of businesses. Further growth is anticipated, as the company strives not just to be an e-commerce platform but to expand its offerings to include both online and offline solutions for its customers.

Global Brain has recognized the growth potential, influence, and innovation of SUPER STUDIO and decided to provide additional funding. Through this investment, Global Brain will actively support SUPER STUDIO as its partner.
