New Service 'toMeet' Opens Registration, Connecting Individuals and Companies via 60-Second Videos

PtoB Inc. (Headquarters: Aichi Prefecture, Representative Director: Akito Maeda) is pleased to announce the start of P User (individual user) registration for its new service, "toMeet," which connects individuals directly with companies through 60-second videos.

toMeet is a platform where individuals taking on various challenges—such as athletes, artists, creators, influencers, entrepreneurs, researchers, students, and job seekers—can broadcast their passion, personality, achievements, and goals through 60-second videos to connect directly with companies.

The service's key feature is the ability to naturally express the passion, individuality, and personality that are often difficult to convey through traditional resumes or profile texts.

For companies, understanding an individual's ambitions, challenges, skills, and achievements through video provides new opportunities for encounters leading to recruitment, sponsorships, and collaborations.

■ Background of Service Development

toMeet was born from the combined experiences of PtoB Inc.'s Representative Director Akito Maeda, who submitted a "self-promotion video" during his job hunting, and Board Member Kumiko Kaneda, a professional female golfer, who reflected on her "own experiences, gratitude, and vision for the future of the golf industry."

Looking back on her career, Kaneda realized she had been blessed with sponsors. However, she notes, "Meeting sponsors is never easy. Even if you have the ability and passion, you are not necessarily good at sales. You may not know how to promote your charm. I believe there are many people missing opportunities to expand their potential for these reasons." Pro golfer Kaneda had always wished for a place where athletes and companies could connect more easily.

"To have people feel that 'this company supports the future'—that in itself must be of great value to companies," says Kaneda.

Meanwhile, Maeda realized the potential of "self-promotion through video" during his job search. Sensing that his true self and thoughts, which text alone couldn't capture, were naturally conveyed via video, he came to the conclusion: "I wish there was a place where people could express themselves more freely and connect directly with companies who resonate with their passion."

"I believe society will become even more vibrant if it becomes the norm for individuals to take on challenges and for companies to support them."

By combining these two visions and turning them into a service, they realized "toMeet," a new service connecting individuals and companies directly through 60-second videos.

Currently, the platform anticipates early adoption by individuals who want to "expand their potential," such as athletes, artists, creators, influencers, entrepreneurs, and inventors, and user registration is proceeding sequentially. Moving forward, the service plans to expand into the recruitment and career sectors.
