Boost Health

What Boost Health does

Boost Health is a Tokyo-based B2B SaaS company that operates the BOOST platform, an AI-powered talent success service integrating cognitive behavioral science with professional coaching to improve employee engagement and performance. The company is headquartered in Ginza, Tokyo, and operates as Boost Health株式会社. Its platform is designed for enterprise HR and people-operations teams seeking to address workforce productivity, retention, and behavior-change objectives through a hybrid AI-plus-human coaching delivery model rather than a fully automated tool. The technical architecture combines AI-driven personalization layers with structured coaching workflows grounded in cognitive behavioral frameworks, with academic research collaboration through Senshu University Graduate School providing scientific substantiation.

The business model is a B2B enterprise SaaS subscription sold directly to large Japanese corporates. The flagship enterprise customer is Dentsu Inc., one of Japan's largest advertising conglomerates, and Hitachi has been announced as a scheduled 2026 enterprise implementation. Pricing mechanics, ACV, and contract structures are not publicly disclosed. Go-to-market appears to be enterprise-led with category validation through the Notable Startup Award received at the 11th HR Technology Awards in 2026. Operations are concentrated exclusively in Japan with no disclosed international footprint.

In March 2026, Boost Health closed a 150 million yen (~US$940,854) seed funding round led by Genesia Ventures with participation from WPower Fund (MPower Partners), Incubate Fund, and DG Incubation, bringing cumulative funding to 250 million yen. The company remains privately held at seed stage with no disclosed revenue, headcount, or profitability metrics. The investor syndicate indicates institutional confidence in the Japanese HR-tech thesis but does not by itself imply commercial scale.
