AlphaDrive Inc. (Headquarters: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; President, CEO/CAXO: Yoichi Aso; hereinafter 'AlphaDrive') announced the launch of the service website and the full-scale rollout of 'AlphaDrive Partners', an external talent solution for new businesses, on May 18, 2026.

While initiatives for new businesses are expanding, primarily among large corporations, the shortage of 'people' to drive them has become the biggest bottleneck for commercialization.

It handles everything from organizing business challenges to utilizing external professional talent and managing quality during operation.

■ Background of Service Provision

'We lack internal resources to drive the business,' 'We don't have members internally with specialized knowledge for the business we are promoting,' 'We can't even discern what kind of talent we need in the first place' — As AlphaDrive provides hands-on support for new business development at many companies, one of the most frequent concerns raised relates to 'talent' taking charge of new businesses.

What is important in utilizing external talent for new businesses is not 'finding talent capable of doing new business,' but rather 'defining the talent truly needed for the company's business right now,' and 'linking external talent to business results.'

To discern the ideal talent required for a new business, it is necessary to answer multiple questions, such as 'What phase is the business in?', 'What resources does the company lack?', and 'How do we divide the tasks handled internally versus those outsourced?' However, in organizations without experienced new business personnel, the requirement definition itself is difficult. AlphaDrive observes that in conventional general talent services, 'mismatches with business challenges' and 'dysfunction due to total outsourcing' were repeated, often failing to lead to business results.

'AlphaDrive Partners' brings together the massive case studies of new business development support conducted by AlphaDrive. It is a talent solution thoroughly focused on 'leading to business results,' handling everything from organizing business challenges and requirement definition to utilizing external professional talent and managing quality during operation.

■ Features of 'AlphaDrive Partners'

'AlphaDrive Partners' is an external talent solution for new businesses. AlphaDrive handles everything from organizing business challenges and requirement definition to utilizing external professional talent and managing quality during operation.

Feature 1: 'Requirement Definition Capability' knowing everything about new businesses
To accurately define talent requirements for a new business, a deep understanding of business development itself is essential. In this service, consultant members from new business development support stand at the front to drill down, extract, and analyze the essential challenges of the target business, starting with jointly defining the 'talent truly needed right now for that business.'

Feature 2: Adaptable talent proposals assuming 'change'
New businesses entail uncertainty where the business phase, themes to focus on, and challenges to address change within a short time frame. In this service, in accordance with changes in premises, they actively propose optimal talent type replacements and additional assignments as a one-stop service.

Feature 3: A quality assurance mechanism that prevents 'total outsourcing'
No matter how professional the talent is, they cannot stably demonstrate high performance unless they correctly grasp the given conditions (past study history, constraints, changes in premises, etc.) of the target business. In this service, by having AlphaDrive's consultant members consistently involved from talent selection and requirement definition to follow-up during operation, they prevent 'simply throwing the work over the wall' and draw out the performance of external talent.
