Startbahn

Startbahn develops Startrail, a blockchain infrastructure that assures the reliability, authenticity, and traceability of artworks and creative works. The platform offers Startrail PORT, a digital certificate system that enables creators to unlock secondary sale revenue, eliminate counterfeits through NFC-tagged verified records, record provenance from creation through ownership transfers, and deepen connections with collectors. The system supports physical artworks, sake, apparel, figures, digital artworks, cars, signed collectibles, and ancient coins. Startbahn also provides a Startrail API for integrating NFT issuance, management, and transfer into third-party websites and services, along with FUN FAN NFT, a QR-to-NFT marketing solution for fan engagement. Over 320 businesses and 2,000 artists use the platform. Founded in 2014 and headquartered in Bunkyo, Japan, the company has raised $10.0M in Series B funding from investors including Miyako Capital, UTEC, OPSWAT, SX Capital, TBS Innovation Partners, iSGS Investment Works, and SBI Investment.
