AI Storm's New Satellite Office in WeWork, Shibuya

AI Storm Co., Ltd., previously known as Jexceed, has officially announced the opening of a new satellite office in the bustling Shibuya area, specifically in the innovative space provided by WeWork. This strategic move aims to enhance the company’s growth trajectory as it sets a soaring goal of achieving a market capitalization of 50 billion yen by the fiscal year 2027. Currently, AI Storm's market valuation stands much lower, making this an ambitious journey.

The Vision Behind the New Office

As part of its mid-term management plan unveiled in March, AI Storm has laid out a roadmap to increase its market cap significantly. The newly established 'Value 500 Lab' office in Shibuya is designed to be more than just a workspace; it will serve as a dynamic hub for engaging with startups, creative minds, and investors. The primary objective is to articulate and share the significance of AI Storm’s growth endeavors with budding ventures as well as established corporations nearby, such as the Tokyu Group.

At this location, AI Storm intends to implement several initiatives:

• - Real-Time Networking: The satellite office will act as a platform for investors and market stakeholders to palpably experience AI Storm's commitment to reaching its ambitious goal, fostering immediate feedback and engagement.
• - Innovative Workspace for Employees: The new office will offer a space for team members to swiftly validate and implement new business ideas, promoting a culture of innovation and agility.
• - Monthly Networking Events: AI Storm plans to host monthly gatherings called "AI Storm Presents! Networking with Shibuya Entrepreneurs,” creating opportunities for collaborative projects and partnerships.
• - Active Participation in WeWork Events: The company is committed to participating in events organized by WeWork, facilitating the establishment of a venture business pillar that invites significant group investments.
• - Collaboration with Unicorn Companies: By connecting with unicorn firms like Google, META, and ByteDance that are also situated in Shibuya, AI Storm aims to foster synergistic partnerships and co-development opportunities.

Why Shibuya?

Shibuya has emerged as a hotspot for startups and creative industries, offering a fertile ground for networking with new customers and technological partners. The area’s accessibility for AI Storm employees further enhances its appeal. Notable companies that have thrived from this locale include:

• - MIXI, Inc. (TSE: 2121): Founded by Kenji Kasahara in 1997, MIXI revolutionized the smartphone game market with the Monst and has since expanded into sports and lifestyle sectors, now boasting a market cap of about 2.4 trillion yen.
• - DeNA Co., Ltd. (TSE: 2432): Founded by Tomoko Namba, DeNA has diversified from successful smartphone games to professional baseball, achieving a market cap of approximately 3.3 trillion yen, symbolizing the potential for Japanese ventures.
• - CyberAgent, Inc. (TSE: 4751): This megaventure has reached a market cap of 7.6 trillion yen, continuously launching successful initiatives like Ameba TV, proving to be a frontrunner in Japan’s digital landscape.
• - GMO Internet Group, Inc. (TSE: 9449): With a stronghold in the internet sector since its inception, the GMO group has over 13 listings and a market cap exceeding 2 trillion yen, epitomizing the vitality of Shibuya’s ecosystem.

In total, more than 100 startups have established themselves in the Shibuya area, establishing it as a sacred ground for budding entrepreneurs and ambitious ventures.

Leveraging WeWork’s Global Network

AI Storm's choice of WeWork is significant, providing a global accessibility framework spanning over 600 locations across 37 countries, including around 40 in Japan as of January 2024. This allows members to work seamlessly across various spaces, fostering collaborative opportunities among diverse groups ranging from startups to large enterprises and even NGOs.

The premium environment at the top floors of Shibuya Scramble Square enhances client engagement and recruitment activities, creating an ideal atmosphere that embodies a blend of cutting-edge innovation and reliability.

Looking Ahead

The opening of the 'wakuwaku We work by AI Storm' office in August 2025 will mark a milestone in the company’s journey. With the infusion of creativity and collaboration, AI Storm is not just aiming for a market cap of 50 billion yen but is set on establishing a lasting legacy within the Japanese business landscape.

According to CEO Toshio Imai, "This new base will accelerate our goal of reaching a 50-billion-yen market cap, fostering co-creation of value for all stakeholders. By integrating WeWork’s flexible, community-driven model with AI Storm’s dual framework of stable revenue and growth investments, we aim to enhance the speed of delivering customer value."
