Edgematrix

What Edgematrix does

EDGEMATRIX Inc. (founded April 2019, headquartered in Shibuya, Tokyo) develops a Video Edge AI platform that performs real-time AI inference on video streams at the edge rather than in the cloud. The core technology stack consists of the proprietary EDGEMATRIX Stream engine built on NVIDIA DeepStream and GStreamer, running on a family of GPU-equipped Edge AI Box hardware devices (Light through the latest EX Series based on NVIDIA Jetson Orin, ranging from 40 to 200 TOPS), with the AIVA (Artificial Intelligence Video Analytics) standardized pipeline providing portability across AI applications. The Edge AI Station software platform orchestrates AI applications, device management, Node-RED business logic, and supports both cloud-connected and fully offline operation. Above the platform, EDGEMATRIX operates the EDGEMATRIX Store marketplace aggregating AI applications from approximately 12 third-party developers for use cases including fire detection, intrusion detection, traffic monitoring, parking management, license plate recognition, people counting, and behavior analysis. The company also offers bundled turnkey appliances (Edge AI Station α) and pre-configured solution packages for fire detection, data center security, traffic, parking, agricultural reservoir monitoring, and crime prevention.

EDGEMATRIX generates revenue through a multi-stream model: (1) Edge AI Box hardware sales (open pricing across multiple SKUs), (2) the EDGEMATRIX Cloud Platform subscription (per-unit monthly fees by tier — Light, Standard, Advance supporting 2/4/20 simultaneous cameras), (3) bundled subscription services combining hardware rental, maintenance with free replacement, and cloud service on 2-year or 3-month contracts, (4) marketplace commissions from the AI App Store, (5) MVNO SIM services leveraging NTT Docomo network infrastructure, and (6) professional services for custom AI development and installation through subsidiary EDGE Facilities (absorbed in 2025, inheriting Tokyo telecommunications construction permit). Primary customers are Japanese municipalities and smart city infrastructure operators, with secondary segments in industrial/manufacturing, commercial/retail, data center operators, security, and agricultural/disaster prevention. Distribution combines direct enterprise sales, a formal channel/reseller network, and the online service platform. Strategic shareholders include NTT Docomo Business, Shimizu Corporation, Japan Post Capital, Sony Innovation Fund, SVB Capital/First Citizens, TIS, Cloudian, and DG Capital — collectively providing both capital and go-to-market leverage across Japanese enterprise verticals.
