SportsTech Japan closed a third-party allotment of new shares with BUNKLE, NEOLAB, existing shareholder Owls Business Partners, and angel investors as subscribers. The company runs Baselink AI, which it describes as Japan's only baseball-specific SNS.
The service passed 10,000 registered users in 3 months from launch. Its pitch is verbalization: players post daily practice records and videos, then dialogue with AI to organize their own challenges and sensations, moving away from a baseball environment that relied on intuition and coach experience.
The two academies joining as shareholders are tsuzuki BASE, which brings indoor facilities and team management know-how, and NEOLAB, a baseball academy known for coaching professional and Koshien players. SportsTech Japan says the round will fund stronger community infrastructure, updated verbalization AI for practice video review, and integration of both academies' coaching theory into SNS content and AI.
