ModelingX Inc. is a technology startup based in Toyama, Japan, that specializes in creating immersive experiences through metaverse, XR (Extended Reality), and AI technologies under the vision "Gamify The World!". The company was founded on April 8, 2022, by Koudai Yamada (CEO) and Kenjo Oda (CTO), both graduates of Toyama University's Faculty of Economics. Prior to founding ModelingX, Yamada worked at a regional bank in corporate and individual sales, while Oda was in the manufacturing industry focusing on internet infrastructure and process improvement.
The company's service portfolio is diverse, covering Metaverse/XR development, system development, education, new business development, and IP/entertainment. A flagship project is "MELIFE," a metaverse application that allows users to simulate their ideal home and lifestyle, initially focusing on the Toyama prefecture. This platform serves as a virtual housing exhibition space, connecting homebuyers with builders. Another key offering is "MetaKit," a development platform for smartphone-specific metaverse applications, enabling businesses and municipalities to easily create their own virtual spaces.
ModelingX's business model includes a range of services from SaaS and web application development to AI integration and business process automation tools. They also engage in new business creation through a product-out approach, developing prototypes for web, SaaS, and business applications before formal engagement, a service they call "imagine first". The company has received recognition for its work, including being selected as a "T-Startup Company" in 2022, an initiative by Toyama Prefecture to support growing companies. It has also secured seed funding from investors like Nihonkai Lab and Z Venture Capital.
