We want to create a service that many people will use addictively every day.

12years ago, the three of us got together on weekends and decided to create new web services, We formed a company, and our first hit was Japan's first flea market app, "Fril”. And this is our second challenge. We still want to make the world a better place by solving problems and creating things that people really need.
