By chance, I met Mr. Sato, the representative of Stayway, and I was struck by his strong desire to use our services to solve social issues for small and medium-sized businesses and local communities, and how he worked hard with his colleagues toward the big goal of going public. I did. In addition, I feel that the business model of the company’s current main business, “Subsidy Cloud,” is very
interesting, and it is a solution that firmly captures the social issues surrounding subsidies. Through Stayway, I found it very rewarding to indirectly help revitalize and develop the financial industry, so I decided to join the company as an outside director. I would like to leverage my experience to support the company’s healthy and sustainable growth and fulfill my responsibilities as a director. Message from Representative Sato
Since I first met Mr. Ohara through a connection, he has cooperated with me on many occasions, including receiving personal angel investment. It is very reassuring to have Mr. Ohara participate as an outside director in our efforts to strengthen our internal controls and business management. From now on, we will clarify the company’s issues that could not be solved with internal resources alone and strive to build an internal structure for listing.
Future prospects
In preparation for listing, we will use the subsidy cloud as a hook to develop various businesses, expand sales, and strengthen internal controls and business management. In order to realize our mission of “unleashing the potential of small and medium-sized businesses and local communities,” Stayway will continue to solve various management and social issues and help transform companies and society. .
