The era in which the individual is the creator of value.
The products we create will change society.
It was in 2012 that I started my first business.
When I visited Vietnam, I saw energetic young people with strong IT skills, felt the potential for IT business in the country, and founded an offshore development company which grew to employ 500 people by 2015. While I was confident in the growth potential of this project, my desire to use this knowledge to try establishing a more scalable project as a company service grew stronger by the day. At just that time, customer-to-customer and sharing economy services like Uber and Airbnb had already begun to gain ground overseas. My first experience with a customer-to-customer service was ridesharing abroad. Unlike existing taxi services, drivers’ identities, vehicles, routes, prices, and user ratings are clearly indicated. I was deeply impressed by how the service made travel in unfamiliar places safe and comfortable.
Through this experience, I was convinced that this wave is bound to sweep all industries, dramatically changing the way industry is structured around the world. Founded in 2017, C2C is a 100-engineer development company based in Vietnam that provides specialist business support groups to Japan, and provides a variety of support to help sustainably grow direct matching businesses.
“We have a service idea, but we don’t know how to develop it, and we don’t know who to talk to.”
Companies with such concerns are the future partners of C2C.
Our partners range from the food and beverage industry to the recruitment industry, the nail industry and the relaxation industry. In these industries, it is not uncommon to find no IT personnel in-house. In addition, when platform development is outsourced, there are many examples companies lacking internal knowhow and prior accomplishments in the development and operation of such platforms closing within a short period of time after failing to draw up a growth model for the future.
We have been working on the development of a platform dedicated to C2C matching for many years, and have accumulated an abundance of in-house knowledge. As such, we know the “rules for winning”. In addition, we pride ourselves on being able to develop more efficient, high-quality products by combining general-purpose parts made with frameworks with custom product-specific parts.
In terms of cost, we have established a system that reduces the initial cost of services and commits to product growth by providing partner companies with a revenue share model that rewards success.
Service development does not end with building the system. Developments and releases will continue to improve the service in accordance with users’ lives. We are committed to supporting our partners various ways until they become innovative presences in the industry.
The era in which the individual is the creator of value. I believe that the products we create are creating new value for society. We would like to bring about a society where the individual fulfilled both economically and spiritually, with their individual value more fairly appraised. Not only in Japan, but around the world, with a focus on Asia, we will work together with our partner companies to continue to grow our businesses, seeking to create a future in which our products will transform society.
We will realize a new way of working for service providers
by freely and optimally delivering the value
that everyone has to those who need it.
Worldwide by Using Our Product
We will create fair opportunities
for service providers around the world
by providing products that innovate each industry
and growth at the fastest and maximum.
We think and believe in all the possibilities of our products.
We act faster than anyone else and achieve faster than anywhere else.
We take the initiative in leading the success of our partners.
We create, think and act with global standards.
We act for the team and share generously.
