Uzabase

Uzabase delivers business intelligence and media services through its core platforms, SPEEDA and NewsPicks. SPEEDA provides comprehensive corporate and industry data alongside expert analysis to inform strategic decision-making. NewsPicks, a business news and social media platform, curates content and fosters discussions among professionals. The company's approach centers on aggregating vast amounts of business information and transforming it into actionable insights for its users.

The company was co-founded by Yusuke Inagaki and Ryosuke Niino, commencing operations in April 2008. Their founding insight was to address a market gap for accessible, in-depth business information and analytical tools, particularly with a focus on Asian markets. Both founders brought entrepreneurial expertise, driven by the goal of building a service that could provide clarity within complex business landscapes.

Uzabase primarily serves a professional audience, including financial institutions, consulting firms, corporations, and individual business leaders requiring strategic market intelligence. The company’s overarching vision is to become a global leader in providing Asian business insight, aiming to create a world where professionals can consistently make confident, well-informed decisions through superior data and community-driven knowledge.
