Learnings Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Shibuya-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director: Yohei Kajita) is pleased to announce that the number of featured entrepreneurs on its web media "Shacho no Rirekisho" (https://donzoko-ceo.com/) has exceeded 500.
## What is "Shacho no Rirekisho"?
"Shacho no Rirekisho" is a web media operated by a publishing company that focuses on the "rock bottom periods" and "stuck periods" of entrepreneurs who are now brilliantly successful.
We have operated this media with the aim of providing a ray of hope and renewed energy to those currently struggling, by intentionally presenting articles not only about their successes but also about their agonizing and difficult times when things didn't go as planned.
When we interview entrepreneurs in detail, we often find pasts where they gritted their teeth during their founding period, struggled with illness, or clawed their way back after being betrayed by colleagues or business partners.
It is precisely because they have such a past, thinking "I was at rock bottom then," and because they overcame that rock bottom, that they grow into entrepreneurs with greater character, who are charismatic and admired by their peers.
Based on this philosophy, we have continued to share entrepreneurs' startup stories and tales of hardship during their founding days.
## Journey to 500 Breakthroughs
Since the service started in 2021, we have accumulated articles with the cooperation of various entrepreneurs regardless of industry, scale, or age.
The featured categories are diverse, including "Hardships after founding," "Hardships immediately after starting a business," "Hardships of job change," "Changes in external environment," "Health/Illness," "Human resources," and "Monetization."
Real voices of diverse entrepreneurs have been accumulated in over 500 interview articles.
The recent achievement of exceeding 500 featured entrepreneurs is thanks to the readers who resonated with the entrepreneurs' "true stories" and the entrepreneurs who cooperated with our interviews.
We express our deepest gratitude.
## What "Shacho no Rirekisho" values
When people see successful individuals, they often tend to think, "They just happened to catch the trend" or "They had talent from the beginning."
However, by only looking at their current success, one cannot grasp the true nature of things.
Our media carefully uncovers "those difficult times" rather than the entrepreneurs' "brilliant present," continuously delivering content that allows readers to relate their own struggles and gain the strength to move forward.
## Future Outlook
"Shacho no Rirekisho" will continue to expand the number of featured entrepreneurs, strengthen cooperation with Learnings Co., Ltd.'s publishing business, and undertake projects to turn the stories of entrepreneurs published on the web media into books.
