■Greetings from the representative
As we enter 2024, I would like to offer my New Year’s greetings. First of all, I would like to express my heartfelt sympathies to everyone affected by the Noto Peninsula earthquake that occurred in 2020. We sincerely hope for everyone’s safety and the speedy recovery of the disaster-stricken areas. I also saw how private companies that support social infrastructure quickly provide disaster relief in a variety of ways, and I felt strongly that I wanted to join these great companies as soon as possible.
Last year was a year in which we collaborated with approximately 40 universities and worked on fundraising and business DX, and the vision we had at the time of our founding took shape. Alumnote will continue to work hard this year to create a new system to enrich Japan’s future. We would like to express our gratitude for your continued support and ask for your continued support in 2024.
