Shiroyagi

Shiroyagi Corporation, established in May 2013 by Yoshitomo Watanabe, operates at the intersection of big data analytics, natural language processing (NLP), and machine learning. The company's core mission is to maximize the value of time for individuals by leveraging the power of data and computing.

The primary offering is the "Camelio API," a B2B service that provides a content curation system through a Web API. This API sources information from tens of thousands of online outlets, including news sites, corporate press releases, and government announcements, then categorizes and makes this data searchable for its clients. Businesses can integrate this API to deliver articles and content specifically tailored to the interests of their end-users. The technology has been adopted by prominent companies such as Kodansha for its "OTAKAD" service, Sansan for its cloud-based business card management service, and Nikkei BP for its "nikkei BPnet" portal renewal. Other clients include Daiwa Institute of Research and Tokyo Metro, who use the API for internal information gathering.

In addition to the API, Shiroyagi offers "Camelio News Explorer," a news clipping tool designed for teams to facilitate organized information gathering. This BtoB tool aims to reduce the man-hours spent on manually collecting and distributing relevant news within an organization. The company previously developed a consumer-facing news curation app also called "Camelio," which allowed users to follow specific topics to receive a personalized feed of articles. This app gained recognition, being named to Apple's "App Store Best of 2014." While the B2C app was a key part of its history, the firm's focus has pivoted to its B2B API and enterprise solutions. The company generates revenue through its API services and enterprise tools.

The company's name, which translates to "White Goat," reflects its ethos of steadily persevering and growing, much like a goat navigating difficult mountain terrain. The firm has secured funding from investors including Global Brain and has engaged in capital and business alliances with Kodansha and BookLive to further its growth and service development.
