As our own service, we created a specialized online platform focused on entrepreneurship and business design. We developed it because while operating STARTOUT, we found users who wanted to learn only about business and entrepreneurship at a slightly lower price.
When you operate one service, you discover the next needs from it, and new services are born. By repeating this loop of need discovery, the number of people in the economic sphere increases, and sales also expand. The expansion of a platform spreads in a chain reaction.
STARTOUT was, after all, a service specialized in creator development. Its purpose was to cultivate the ability for web creators, who build businesses, to execute everything from planning to design and development by themselves.
However, there are cases where production skills have already been acquired, or the production skills themselves are outsourced to someone else. By responding to the needs of such people, we were able to get users of previously missed demographics to register. By horizontally expanding the platform and content, we were able to create another revenue stream in a short period.
When it comes to support for entrepreneurship and consulting, currently there is no environment where everyone can learn about starting a business or business creation, whether it's by asking an expensive consultant, attending an equally expensive school, or participating in an accelerator program beyond a high-hurdle test.
Therefore, WAREHOUSE was launched to enable everyone to learn about entrepreneurship and business creation. Everyone can easily learn how to build a business, and also acquire total knowledge and insights related to business creation, including marketing and mindset.
WAREHOUSE is developed comprehensively, from business model to planning, design, and development. As a learning platform, it isSTARTOUTthe second example, and we will now focus on enhancing marketing and content to evolve it.
This platform was developed in 3 months. However, I believe that having prior development experience with STARTOUT and developing the administration screen with WordPress significantly reduced the man-hours. That's why, if you were to create a learning system using the WordPress administration screen, it might cost around 4 to 5 million yen.
Even with the same learning platform, it is possible to significantly reduce man-hours depending on how it is built. If your company desires the development of such a system, please inquire with our director about whether man-hours can be reduced by the method of construction. We will provide an appropriate proposal.
