Once upon a time in the land of IT, there sprung a startup named Josys from CEO Yasukane Matsumoto. With a heart full of binary code, Josys set out on a mission to streamline corporate IT software application management. Josys recently landed a whopping $93M in a Series B funding round, courtesy of Global Brain and Globis Capital Partners. This brings their total treasure chest to an impressive $125M! 💻
- The Origin Story: Josys was born from parent company, Raksul, in 2021. They quickly set their sights on helping small to medium enterprises manage their IT needs.
- The Growth Spurt: From 90 customers in August 2022 to 300 now, Josys is growing fast! Their net revenue retention rate is 140%, and their customer acquisition cost pays back within one year.
- The Services: They offer SaaS management and handle the entire IT device life cycle – purchasing, configuration, shipping, repairing, and storing laptops and mobile devices. Ideal for globe-trotting companies.
- The Expansion: After its Series A round, Josys added functionalities like Shadow IT discovery and real-time asset tracking. Josys has spread its wings far and wide, operating in the U.S and numerous Asian countries. They aim to serve over 100 countries by 2025.
