In this release, we will share the background of 'why we decided to invest in mag2' and the future we aim for.
■ Our Mission is 'To Increase Entrepreneurs with Healthy Values'
Since our founding, Jigyoka Shudan Inc. has held the mission of 'increasing entrepreneurs with healthy values'.
Rather than seeking short-term profits or inciting information, we believe that increasing the number of entrepreneurs who value the 'way of being'—such as:
- For whom are they delivering value?
- With what ideology do they conduct business?
- How do they engage with society?
will elevate the overall health of society.
■ The Need for a 'Trusted Dissemination Platform' in an Era of Information Overload
In today's world where SNS and video platforms are mainstream, the power of information dissemination has grown exponentially.
On the other hand, issues have surfaced, such as:
- Extreme expressions being easily rewarded
- Context being transmitted in fragments
- Priority given to short-term virality
Under these circumstances, we believe that the importance of a 'place where one can settle down to broadcast thoughts and experiences, and deliver them correctly' is higher than ever.
■ Reasons for Investing in 'mag2'
'mag2' can be considered the origin of personal publishing in Japan, possessing characteristics such as:
- Direct relationships with readers
- Information design that is hard to be swayed by algorithms
- Media traits that convey the writer's thoughts and context
These deeply overlap with the values we have cherished:
'Long-term trust over short-term numbers'
'Sincere words over sensationalism'
'Enduring ideology over consumable information'
We decided on this investment because we wish to contribute to inheriting the value of 'mag2' as an ideological infrastructure to the next generation, and further developing it.
■ Towards 'Co-creation', Not Just Investment
For us, this is not merely a financial investment, but an endeavor to co-create:
- An environment where healthy publishers are properly evaluated
- Cultivating a culture where the thoughts of challengers reach the audience
- A platform where entrepreneurs connect with society through 'words'
