Connect Time Launches @at connect

Connect Time Inc., based in Chuo-ku, Osaka, has officially unveiled its innovative business matching service, @at connect, as a new sales support tool on January 7, 2026. Starting at an accessible fee of just 100 yen per day, this service aims to facilitate connections between businesses, potential customers, and alliance partners according to specific challenges businesses face.

Features of @at connect

The @at connect platform does more than provide a way to connect with potential business partners; it offers companies a chance to advertise their services effectively. Businesses can showcase their profiles and services directly on the platform, making it a comprehensive advertising tool. Users can also reach out to other companies they are interested in connecting with, providing an effective alternative to cold calling, particularly beneficial for businesses struggling in this area.

Why Release a Business Matching Service?

Connect Time recognized a gap in the market: while community groups flourish, there are few that focus specifically on sales support. With about 50,000 companies shutting down each year in Japan, the survival rate for businesses after five years hovers around 80%. Many businesses proficient in sales tend to survive, yet there remains a worrying trend of closures due to insufficient sales generation, particularly among startups.

Current approaches to community and business matching are rising, but they primarily focus on community building without adequately addressing the support needed to turn community connections into sales success. By offering @at connect, Connect Time aims to provide startups and small businesses with an affordable means of enhancing their sales efforts.

Pricing and Access

• - The service begins at just 3,000 yen per month, allowing businesses to promote themselves. An upgraded matching support plan is available for 10,000 yen per month.
• - With professional sales teams behind the scenes, businesses can focus on their core operations without the stress of managing aspects of sales they struggle with.
• - The platform allows users to send messages and make matching requests directly through the site, making it user-friendly even for those who are not confident in sales.

Developer's Insights

According to Kohei Katada, the President of Connect Time, “@at connect is a champion for companies and freelancers who find sales challenging.
