The company offers 'PX Cloud,' an AI-driven management support platform that enables continuous improvement in management practices through daily operations. Built on AI-powered meeting analysis, the platform provides features such as follow-up recommendations, Good & More feedback, AI-generated minutes, and skill visualization. It has already been implemented in major corporations, delivering measurable outcomes such as reduced meeting times, improved employee engagement, and enhanced management quality. The company has also received notable recognition, including selection in the Microsoft for Startups program, designation as a representative of Japan in the METI J-StarX program, selection in Tokyo's startup support initiatives, and an award from CIOReview APAC.
In Japan, demand for improved organizational productivity and advanced talent management is rapidly increasing, driven by declining labor populations and diverse workstyles.

With the growing adoption of generative AI and rising corporate interest in talent development and organizational strengthening, the importance of technology in talent management is expected to further increase. With this funding, be-FULL plans to accelerate product development, talent acquisition, and sales expansion to become a leading company in the management-tech sector.
Global Brain highly values be-FULL’s unique product, proven enterprise adoption, and strong growth potential in the expanding management-tech market, which led to this investment decision.
