NodeX

NodeX, Inc. is a Japanese company established in 2019 by Masayoshi Mitsui, who currently serves as the CEO. Initially known as CollaboGate, the firm is headquartered in Tokyo and focuses on developing a zero-trust data infrastructure for the Internet of Things (IoT). The company's core offering is a cloud-based software platform designed to simplify the creation of secure IoT products for developers.

The platform provides an open-source toolkit that facilitates secure messaging between a wide range of devices, including IoT hardware, microservices, and on-premise servers. Key features of the software include decentralized identities, verifiable credentials, and digital wallets, which collectively enhance security and data integrity. NodeX employs an event-driven architecture to optimize data throughput in web applications, catering to the growing demand for efficient data handling in the AI and IoE (Internet of Everything) era. The business model appears to be based on a B2B SaaS subscription.

The company targets a diverse market of edge devices which includes everything from consumer home appliances to large-scale industrial and national defense infrastructure. As the number of connected devices grows, so does the threat of cyberattacks, and NodeX aims to provide the necessary security infrastructure to mitigate risks such as spoofing, malware infection, and DDoS attacks on these vulnerable endpoints. NodeX has successfully raised a total of $5.78 million in funding. A significant seed round in March 2025 brought in $4.01 million, with lead participation from DNX Ventures and ITOCHU Technology Ventures. This funding is intended to further develop their product and expand the delivery team.
