Executive Comments

According to Hayato Kato, Executive Officer in charge of Acceleration Strategy at AlphaDrive:
"Throughout our experience in supporting over 23,000 new business ventures, we have observed numerous occasions where projects with promising business hypotheses and robust teams fail simply because product development faltered, leading to unsalvageable setbacks. This realization has driven us to address the deep-rooted challenges within the startup ecosystem. While we have established a tech company within the AlphaDrive group to tackle these issues, we required additional resources and capabilities to deliver tailor-made solutions for individual business characteristics. Hence, we established this new service and initiative. We are committed to working alongside our partner companies to foster the success of new businesses."
