WHO IT HITSStartup founders and corporate new-business development staff who need customer feedback for PMF validation may find the demo relevant, as the service targets those roles.
Summaries like this, every morning.
ProductForce's exhibition at Startup JAPAN EXPO 2026【冬】 comes as the company positions UniResearch as a direct research platform that can conduct surveys at "same-day, one-tenth or less of conventional survey cost." The platform has been used by 4,000 companies and for over 95,000 cases, according to the company.
The AI Interview service is aimed at startups seeking new business or collaboration with large enterprises, as well as corporate new-business development staff. By automating the research process from design to analysis, it aims to speed up PMF validation and marketing research for new businesses.
The event itself is organized by Sansan's Eight business card app and is described as one of Japan's largest startup exhibitions. ProductForce's booth will offer individual consultations on research internalization and speed-up, in addition to the demo.
