Business Moves Just by the Founder Speaking. Notice Regarding StartPass and Frictio's Business Partnership

StartPass Inc. (Headquarters: Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo / CEO: Kiyotaka Ohara) has officially launched a new project, the 'AI-Native Startup Management Planning Office', aimed at supporting founders' decision-making. As the first step of the project, they will begin a business partnership with SYSLEA Inc. (Headquarters: Shinagawa-ku, Tokyo / CEO: Yusuke Ohashi, hereafter SYSLEA), which provides the AI-native CRM 'Frictio'. They announced a next-generation management OS concept that structures founders' conversations and automatically extracts management issues, and will start a program offering 'Frictio' 1ID for free exclusively for StartPass users.

Background | Business Moves Just by the Founder Speaking. Startup founders spend their days on investor meetings, customer negotiations, and management meetings, yet the vast majority of those conversations remain undigitized. Information that could be used for decision-making dissipates in individual memories, continuously creating a 'time loss' in management. Furthermore, handling everything from product development to fundraising, hiring, and customer acquisition alone prevents them from focusing on strategy. Therefore, the AI-native CRM 'Frictio', which structures conversations in real-time, and 'StartPass', a startup support platform that transforms management data into a blueprint for growth, will integrate their respective technologies and knowledge.

Through this collaboration, the two companies will fuse the digitization of conversations via AI with management support knowledge to implement the functions of a 'startup management planning office' through technology. By turning founders' conversations into management assets and building a system to deliver appropriate support at the right timing, the two companies will jointly design an environment where a world where 'business moves just by the founder speaking' is realized, allowing them to focus on strategy.

Special Benefits for Founders A support program for introducing Frictio will begin targeting founders of StartPass contracted companies.
