Who we are

The company is an AI startup company with a mission to help create innovation in every industrial business by providing Custom AI which is tailormade AI development for deep learning and other cuttingedge AI and machine learning technologies. Many of our clients are major corporations listed on the first section of the Tokyo Stock Exchange and because we focus on helping them innovate their core business we support many highly innovative AI projects that have a big industrial impact.

Our unique feature is that we can provide consistent support from AI application consulting prototype development and PoC implementation to AI system development.

If you want to be a part of a star group that connects technology and business we are looking forward to hearing from you.

Crossdepartmental collaboration

• We are unique in that there is very little discommunication (lack of mutual understanding) between engineers and AI consultants which is often heard in AI startups.
• Since our mission is to connect technology and business many of our members are conscious of communicating from both sides of technology and business and we have a corporate culture to understand each others position and ideas.

Worklife balance

• We place more emphasis on maximizing the results each individual can achieve in the time they have rather than spending a long time in the dark to produce results.
• This philosophy is also reflected in our lifework balance. We encourage our employees to think carefully about how they can balance work and private life by clarifying the line between on and off duty and how they can allocate their allotted time.

Flat organization

• All members of the management team have an attitude of listening to the voices of the members and there is a strong sense of mutual support among the members which creates a culture in which opinions are exchanged and suggestions are made regardless of position or company history.
• Perhaps due to the relatively high average age of the members the emphasis is on constructive and meaningful discussions rather than on everyone giving their opinions in a nagging manner.
