About us
Create new beginnings.
We bring the practical knowledge refined through our own products and businesses to product development, business development and web marketing. abcompany is a company that creates new beginnings for the world and for business.
Mission
Create new beginnings.
We look for possibilities that have yet to take shape and bring them into society as businesses and products. By taking on challenges ourselves, testing and continuing to build, we create new beginnings that help companies and people move forward.
Vision
Toward a future where the world and business connect more freely.
We aim for a future where people and businesses connect more freely, beyond borders, industries and information barriers. By combining a global network with technology, we help build a society where new challenges spread more naturally.
Value
Think it through. Build it through.
We look beyond the surface of a problem to its structure and essence. We give shape to well-considered hypotheses with our own hands, and keep testing and improving until they deliver results. That attitude is the starting point of everything we build.
Message
What we have proven ourselves,
for someone else’s beginning.
In 2019, I took over the management of International Education Exchange Center, a study-abroad agency then in its twentieth year. The first things I did were to remove the printers and old PCs and to move the long-running website onto a new platform. We put the foundations in order, reconnected the website with counseling, and gave our counselors time to focus on the work they should really be doing. Step by step, those efforts led to a large increase in inquiries and a return to profitability.
That experience is where we start from today. We build our own products, run our own media, and bring what we have tested and proven in our own businesses to our clients. Now that AI is changing both search and the way we work, I want us to hold on to the habit of trying things with our own hands and seeing for ourselves.
“Create new beginnings” expresses our wish to stand alongside companies and people taking on new challenges, and to build that first step forward together. Think it through, build it through — we will keep that promise in every piece of work we do.
