BrainSleep Inc. (Head Office: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director: Kosuke Michibata; hereinafter "BrainSleep") has partnered with Makuake Inc. (Head Office: Shibuya-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director and President: Ryotaro Nakayama; hereinafter "Makuake") to launch a support program (hereinafter "this Program") that leverages the knowledge and expertise of both companies to develop new products themed around "sleep" and implement projects on "Makuake," a support-purchase service for new things and experiences operated by Makuake. We are also recruiting businesses interested in participating in this Program. Background of the Initiative BrainSleep has previously received over 300 million yen in support purchases from more than 13,000 individuals across 15 projects on Makuake, including bedding such as pillows and mattresses, as well as apparel and sleep-tracking devices. Given the similar user base between BrainSleep's customers and Makuake's users, we have utilized Makuake as a new marketplace by offering advance pre-orders. This program was initiated to leverage the expertise of both companies in the sleep-related domain, where BrainSleep specializes. By supporting new product development and PR, we aim to collaboratively create and disseminate new products and services to the world.
