Reelu Expands Its Reach by Joining the Impact Startup Association

In a significant move, Reelu, a Tokyo-based corporation focused on matching multilingual human resources, has officially become a full member of the Impact Startup Association (ISA). This organization aims to create a lasting positive change by supporting startups that tackle social issues and promote sustainable growth.

About the Impact Startup Association (ISA)

The ISA was founded on October 14, 2022, to build an ecosystem for impact startups that balance social problem-solving with sustainable development. Collaborating with governmental, financial, and academic sectors, the ISA aims to create a nurturing environment for startups that positively impact society through four pillars: sharing, shaping, advocating, and disseminating. Currently, the association has 325 full member impact startups and 15 supporting companies, which includes both domestic and foreign firms.

Background of Reelu's Membership

Japan is facing a paradigm shift in its economic structure, transitioning from a domestic consumption-focused approach to one that embraces international demand, particularly in areas such as tourism and international exhibitions. A significant challenge persists, as there’s a chronic shortage of skilled personnel who can communicate effectively in multiple languages while providing excellent customer service.

To address this issue, Reelu has developed a system that utilizes video assessments and certification processes to showcase the skills of multilingual personnel. By supplying trained workers on a spot basis, Reelu effectively confronts the pressing concerns of language barriers in various industries. The company's ethos of creating a structure that enables mobility reflects the ISA's vision for impact startups.

Insights from Reelu’s CEO

Tamayo Konno, CEO of Reelu, expressed her heartfelt gratitude for being welcomed as a full member of the ISA. She emphasizes the complex and long-term nature of social issues that cannot be solved through isolated efforts.

"It’s crucial for companies and stakeholders who share a common awareness of these issues to collaborate and learn from one another as we move forward," Konno stated. Reelu is committed to continuously questioning the value they can offer to society and is dedicated to generating sustainable growth and positive impact.
