We will do what we believe in, even if it is different or unusual.
We will do what we believe in, even if it is different from the others.

Representative Director Yoichi Yamane

Asked about all kinds of "growth".

Every few months a representative interview comes along.

This is the last issue of the series, which is early in the year.

I was asked about "growth" from all angles.

Surprisingly, growth is difficult to put into words.

Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!
- I'm a little nervous about this last installment. Let me start by asking you about Mogic's growth to date. I understand that you started out as a one-person consulting firm. Why did you decide to add more people?

Yamane: Since we registered as a joint stock company, we decided that we would work with others somewhere else.

But if you start a company with a few people, the fixed costs will be heavy.

These are things like labor costs and rent.

To get the project off the ground while financing it, we had to work hard to prepare a large amount of funds at the beginning.

I wanted to do it more loosely and thoughtfully, so I started alone.

Fortunately, I got a job from a friend and acquaintance, and within a few months it looked like we could make it work, so we put a team together.

Let's grow up! Rather, I just wanted to do more of what I could do.

- It took you about a year to start your own branded service after you started your business. What did you need to do to start your own service?

Yamane: After all, it is very difficult to create and expand a service all by ourselves (laughs).

It's obvious.

After choosing a field that could become a business, planning, gathering people, working out the funding, and managing the schedule, we finally release the product.

Furthermore, that's where the real challenge begins. There are running costs for servers, development, promotion, and marketing, but we can't devote that much time or resources.

So I was always looking for ways to get it off the ground with the least amount of man-hours.

It is quite different from working for a company to create a service, so we had to carefully manage our own resources and gradually got better at it.

Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

Long interviews like that are now being edited to rave reviews.
