*Comment from Makoto Fukuyama upon appointment as Director and CPO* *
goooods is taking on the challenge of “wholesale”, which supports huge economic activity but has not yet been digitized. I feel that this field has the potential to impact many businesses and consumers, and once the foundation of the product and organization is completed, we are at the stage where we can raise significant funds and take on the challenge.
I am very excited to be able to participate in this project. Also, goooods For brands and buyers, it can be said to be a community service between companies that allows them to meet new business partners and build ongoing business relationships. I would like to utilize my past experience, enjoy new challenges, and create great products with my team. Thank you very much for your support. *
