TOP MESSAGE
Under our corporate philosophy of “to provide a mechanism that embodies the value of information”, we began our business in 2006 by operating a social media platform for investors. In 2014, we launched an information solutions business for financial institutions, and today we are expanding a wide range of information services through our two main pillars: the Media Business and the Solutions Business.
In our Solutions Business, we operate “Kabutan,” a media platform for individual investors that enables us to capture their interests and behaviors in real-time. By promptly incorporating this data into our products, we support investors’ decision-making while also providing higher-quality services to our financial institution clients.
In our Media Business, we strive to deliver emotionally resonant information experiences by combining the power of technology and creators. Through long-term relationships with creators, active user communities, and steady inflow from social media platforms, we have built a strong foundation for increasing user engagement.
Going forward, we will continue to create value through our business and aim to be a company that contributes to the sustainable development of society and our customers.
We sincerely appreciate your continued support and patronage.
