Saleshub Japan

Saleshub, Inc. operates a customer introduction matching service that connects companies with potential clients through referrals. Founded in August 2014 by Motoi Eto, the Tokyo-based company aims to revolutionize B2B sales by leveraging personal connections. The platform allows individuals, referred to as "supporters," to introduce businesses they know to companies seeking sales appointments. In return for a successful meeting setup, these supporters receive a financial reward.

The business model is designed to provide a more efficient alternative to traditional sales methods like cold calling or extensive marketing campaigns. Companies seeking leads pay a fee for successfully arranged appointments and can also be charged for subsequent business deals that arise from these introductions. This approach is based on the premise that referral-based introductions have a significantly higher success rate and lead to more meaningful business conversations. Saleshub serves companies looking to expand their sales channels, particularly startups and ventures with innovative services that can benefit from targeted introductions. Supporters, on the other hand, can leverage their professional networks to earn rewards.

The service is accessible via its website and a dedicated mobile app. Saleshub has secured funding through multiple venture capital rounds, including a seed round in August 2014 and several later-stage VC investments, indicating consistent investor confidence in its growth trajectory.
