What Digirise does

Digirise is a Tokyo-headquartered AI implementation services company founded in July 2023 by Masahiro Chaen. The company provides end-to-end support for Japanese enterprises adopting AI, spanning corporate reskilling training programs, AI agent and Claude Code consulting, custom AI system development, the AI Works enterprise ChatGPT platform, and a recently launched Forward Deployed Engineer (FDE) service that embeds dedicated engineers on-site 1-5 days per week to operationalize AI within client organizations. The core technology stack leverages leading third-party AI tools — primarily ChatGPT and Claude Code — wrapped with proprietary methodology around business-process inventory, prompt engineering education, and security-hardened enterprise deployment (backed by ISO/IEC 27001 ISMS and Privacy Mark certifications).

Digirise monetizes primarily through professional-services fees on training, consulting, and integration engagements, with a smaller subscription component from AI Works and Claude Code training programs. Government subsidy support (人材開発支援助成金) can cover up to 75% of training costs for qualifying clients, reducing customer acquisition friction. Go-to-market combines direct enterprise sales, a 40+ partner referral and distributor network (paying 20% commissions), CEO-led social media and seminar-driven inbound, and co-marketing with complementary vendors such as freee, PeopleX, ZEALS, USEN ICT Solutions, and Persol Innovation.

The customer base spans Japanese enterprises of all sizes across manufacturing, trading, IT services, recruitment, automotive, cleaning, real estate, and local media. As of end of March 2026, Digirise had supported 560+ client companies and trained 40,000+ professionals, and was ranked No.1 in corporate reskilling service adoption by Tokyo Shoko Research. The company operates from offices in Tokyo (WeWork, Minato-ku), Osaka, and Fukuoka, and is in active IPO preparation with hiring across management, engineering, and sales.
