About

MODE develops the BizStack data platform for physical AI, unifying physical-world signals from sensors, cameras, legacy PLCs, cloud VMS, and internal systems into structured, context-rich data. The platform ingests data from any physical source, structures it around real-world asset hierarchies using an entity-based data model, and delivers insights through dashboards, alerts, and scheduled reports with role-based access control. BizStack integrates with Slack and Microsoft Teams, and is designed to be AI agent-ready, providing the data foundation that autonomous AI systems need to act on physical operations. The platform is proven across industries in Japan, including civil engineering infrastructure monitoring, energy management networks, and active construction sites. MODE also offers the platform to technology partners as a production-ready foundation for building physical-world data solutions. Founded in 2014 and headquartered in San Mateo, United States with offices in Tokyo, Japan, the company has raised approximately $25.3 million at the Series B stage.
