Our company is developing the "SUGAR" live video "1 : 1 : N" distribution platform. Famous entertainers are able to make videophone calls to their fans and deliver their presence in real time. We were founded as a startup in June 2017. Famous venture capital funds and famous individual investors have trust our company and raised hundreds of millions of yens for us. We are working together to make a product that allows entertainers and fans to share a deep connection.

The concept of the product was a vision of our core members and we started operating as a corporation in October 2017. With 2 people under one manager we started our product development and on July 2018 the iOS beta application was released. We are enhacing our services with a small team of exceptional members starting by our CTO who has top class experience in video distribution service in Japan. Carefully but quickly we are setting up all the preparations to have millions of users. For example, the services of major companies have nothing on the large scale infrastucture we are investing on. We adopted Scala as the main development language. The front-end uses Swift and Kotlin. Regarding our server technology, we are developing video servers using WebRTC among others. We can deliver at low latency without relying on external SDKs.
