  • Management ownership

    We encourage the entrepreneur to take the lead in launching and growing their business, and the entrepreneur takes a majority share when the business is spun out. Our system ensures a good financial return for the entrepreneur.

  • Minimizing business startup risks

    We do a variety of testing to minimize unnecessary risks that often occur in the early stages of starting a business. The entrepreneur also faces less risk of reduced income, as in the initial stages they can continue their regular job, and in the later stages they can still earn a salary while pursuing their vision.

  • Dynamic support system & assets

    We provide considerable support, including our know-how gained from our experience supporting a variety of startups to date, advice from our entrepreneurial experts, and insights from developing an incredible array of products. Entrepreneurs will also have the chance to leverage the collective knowledge of the other entrepreneurial candidates.
