As a guest, we will welcome Mr. Taichiro Motoe, Representative Director, President and CEO of Bengo4.com, Inc., who laid the foundation for his entrepreneurship at our Attacker's Business School (ABS) and is currently known as Japan's first 'founder of a listed company with a lawyer qualification'.
Mr. Motoe, who built a company listed on the TSE Prime Market from scratch and grew it to record a market capitalization of over 300 billion yen in the past, and our representative, Iwao Shibata, will thoroughly discuss 'entrepreneurial decisions' and 'strategies for social change' in uncertain times.

Background of the Event
This dialogue is one of the main projects of the 'Anniversary Project: Life-time Empowerment in Invisible Continent' deployed by the Aoba-BBT Group from 2025 to 2027. Centered around 2026, multiple educational institutions of our group will reach milestones since their establishment, including Attacker's Business School (ABS, established in 1996, 30th anniversary), Business Breakthrough University, and its graduate school. We view this moment not just as a passing point, but as the starting point for creating new value for the 'next 50 to 100 years'.
Aim of the Project
Through the trajectories of challenges taken by the diverse alumni produced by the Aoba-BBT Group, we aim to broadcast how our philosophy of 'Life-time Empowerment (source of lifelong vitality)' can become a force to change society. That is the goal of this project.
Despite having a promised stable career as a lawyer, Mr. Motoe decided to start a business in the 'Lawyer x IT' field, an area no one paid attention to at the time, after learning at ABS. His trajectory of facing industry norms head-on, changing access to legal services with the lawyer search portal 'Bengo4.com', and even transforming Japan's stamp culture with the electronic contract service 'CloudSign', is exactly what innovation is.
We aim to show how an alumnus who once spread his wings of challenge at our school became a leading company representing Japan.
