Buildit at a Decisive Turning Point: Ten Years in EdTech

As Buildit, an innovative education technology company, proudly approaches its tenth anniversary in March 2026, it embarks on a significant journey towards enhancing educational engagement through strategic growth initiatives. Under the leadership of CEO Yosuke Tomita, Buildit is launching an investment intent survey as part of a Direct Public Offering (DPO) to engage stakeholders who share its vision.

The Foundation of Buildit

Founded in 2016, Buildit was born from Tomita's firm belief that "individual growth improves the world." Over the last decade, it has continuously focused on creating technology that promotes personal development and addresses critical gaps in human relationships within educational settings. A recent survey highlighted Japan's alarming position as having one of the lowest rates of respect for parents and teachers, urging a need for transformative approaches in educational engagement.

In response, Buildit has designed a series of applications, notably the reflection and review app, Stockr. Launched in April 2021, Stockr allows users to 'stock' their daily learnings and insights, fostering self-discovery and growth through AI-powered analysis and feedback. The app has transitioned from catering to individual users to exploring opportunities in corporate sectors, marking a significant evolution in its mission.

Beyond Tools: Building Relationships

Buildit sees its role extending beyond merely providing digital tools. Its goal is to leverage growth support data accumulated via services to mend often fractured interpersonal relationships. The vision is clear: cultivate self-esteem and confidence in individuals, paving the way for a future where everyone can thrive. This aligns perfectly with Buildit’s mission to expand joy, purpose, and peace through high-quality learning infrastructures.

The Role of DPO in Funding the Future

As the accessibility of AI technologies increases, Buildit firmly believes in their potential to foster meaningful human connections rather than drive divisions. To accelerate its objectives for the next decade, the company has decided to undertake a DPO, a fundraising method that invites investment directly from the public without intermediaries.

During this investment intent survey, which adheres to Japan’s Financial Instruments and Exchange Act regulations, Buildit will issue preferred stocks valued up to 990 million yen. While these shares do not confer voting rights, they would entitle holders to a 20% share of the company’s profits in a given fiscal period, if profitability is attained.

Interested parties can participate in the investment intent survey via an online questionnaire here. Preliminary materials, including a presentation about the funding initiative and business plan, are available via this link.

Spotlight on Stockr

The Stockr app redefines the retrospective journaling experience, assisting users in deepening their self-understanding, confidence, and growth. With around 75,000 downloads by February 2026, its unique approach integrates recording, reflection, and visualization, setting it apart from traditional apps. Features like the stock function for tracking thoughts, rediscovery from past records, and AI-assisted coaching enable users to see their progression visually, bolstering self-awareness and confidence.
