Startup Design Tool BOOST Launches with Free AI and Human Retouch Model
The launch shifts the cost burden of startup design from the founding stage to later business pivots, funding free AI generation through backend professional support.

Health Support's Japan Hands-On Division launched BOOST, a startup design DX solution that pairs AI generation with professional designer retouching. AI outputs pixel data that degrades in print, so designers rebuild the base designs into vector SVG and Illustrator files. The basic tools and the NDS brand asset management platform are fully free. Design inconsistency costs startups an average 23 percent of sales opportunities, and 92 percent of startups pivot their business plans.
BOOST runs on a three-step pipeline: the AI engine generates a logo base, a professional designer retouches it by hand, and the finished data is stored in the NDS platform for delivery. The signup form asks for only three required fields: company name, email address, and business type.
Logo data delivered through BOOST carries a rights structure that lets the founder use it commercially and file for trademark registration, which makes the tool usable at startup seminars and counters run by support facilities, municipalities, and financial institutions. The free model is designed so that professional support for future pivots is provided on the backend.
