Blankr Inc. is a Japanese company, founded on September 26, 2018, that provides a web service for online events. The company, headquartered in Tokyo, developed a platform that facilitates one-on-one conversations between creators and their fans through virtual cameras accessible from smartphone browsers. The service aims to address challenges faced by creators, such as isolation and the inability to focus on their primary activities, while also providing fans with more opportunities to connect with their favorite personalities and fellow supporters.
The CEO and founder is Akiteru Ono. Before starting Blankr, Ono gained a wide range of experience, from shiitake mushroom cultivation to product management at an IT company, and from managing DMM's VR THEATRE to working in business planning for a luxury car dealership. This diverse background informed his vision for Blankr, which is to create a world where everyone can live their best life by expressing themselves and enjoying their passions. The company's core service is RAIDORI, a support service for streamers.
Blankr operates in the B2B Media and Information Services industry and generates revenue, although specific figures are not public. The company has secured $971K in funding through a Seed Round in August 2024, with investors including F Ventures and Incubate Fund.
