AI Storm Co., Ltd. (formerly Jexeed Co., Ltd., Headquarters: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo, President & CEO Toshio Imai, Securities Code: 3719) will hold the 'AI Storm Special Seminar: What is the Investor Perspective to Turn SNS into a "Business" as Told by the "Reiwa no Tora"!' on Thursday, April 16, 2026, from 18:00 at the WeWork Shibuya Scramble Square 39F Lounge.
Inviting Shin Inaba, CEO of Nelp Co., Ltd., who appears as an investor on 'Reiwa no Tora' and manages three SaaS companies, we will have him speak from an investor's perspective on the structure of business growth along with his real experiences.
## Background of the Event
While the number of businesses utilizing SNS is increasing, many companies still face structural issues between broadcasting and sales, and only a minority have successfully made SNS function as a 'business mechanism'. By incorporating AI—from predicting post effectiveness to content generation and automating customer funnels—SNS functions for the first time as a 'mechanism that drives business'. Amid these changes, whether a company can incorporate SNS into its core business design determines its growth speed.
AI Storm is aggressively expanding multifaceted AI businesses, including the operation of the AI education program 'Storm Academy', international AI human resource development, and the launch of the cloud-based AI agent service 'ISEAI'. Providing a place for learning to circulate practical knowledge is exactly our role in the era when AI is implemented in society, and this seminar is held as a place for such practice.
## Speaker Introductions
Shin Inaba - CEO of Nelp Co., Ltd. / Investor on the Program
Started his career in sales, and after becoming independent, expanded into multiple businesses including HR, advertising, and food services. He currently manages three SaaS companies and is a practitioner rolling out services in the SNS x IT sector. His perspective of assessing numerous businesses as an investor, combined with his practical experience as a manager, forms the core of this seminar.
Toshio Imai - President & CEO, AI Storm Co., Ltd.
After achieving record-high sales in the fiscal year ending December 2024, the company changed its name to AI Storm in 2025. He forcefully expands business domains across ERP, AI education, energy, and M&A, leading the three-year medium-term management plan. In 2026, he will complete the acquisition of Nippon Tele-system Co., Ltd., a call center operator, as a wholly-owned subsidiary, serving concurrently as its representative director. An execution-oriented manager who consistently declares he will "definitely achieve" a market capitalization of 50 billion yen.
## What You Will Gain from the Seminar
In this seminar, Mr. Inaba will lecture around the following three themes based on his real experiences.
1. Why SNS doesn't lead to sales
-- Unraveling the structural problems and root causes
2. Commonalities of 'growing businesses' seen by investors
-- Conditions for growth told with the 'Tiger's eye' that has selected numerous businesses
3. Systematization and scale strategies of businesses utilizing SNS
-- Explaining a reproducible growth model on a practical basis
We will systematically talk from an investor's perspective about the design philosophy of not letting SNS end as just a broadcasting tool, but making it function as a business.
