Custamedia Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Kita-ku, Osaka; Representative Director: Koji Miyazaki) is intensifying its activities as a "New Business Support Team" through its self-hosted event "New Business Failure BAR," accompanying over 10,000 entrepreneurs and new business managers through their "failures" and guiding them to success. Our dream is for Custamedia itself to grow into a decacorn company, to produce challengers who will transform the world from Japan, and for Custamedia to continue providing co-creation support.
## Our Dream: To "Co-create" with as Many Challengers as Possible and Share the Joy of Success
The path of new business is steep and sometimes lonely. Many wonderful ideas disappear amidst small "failures" and solitary decisions.
We are not just a platform provider.
"We want to be involved with, accompany, support, and co-create with as many people's new business ideas as possible."
With this aspiration, we, as the "New Business Support Team," pour all our technology, know-how, and community into this endeavor. Our vision for 2050 is that the companies we co-create with will succeed one after another, and as a result, Custamedia itself will become a decacorn company, making a huge impact on society.
## "Failure" is the Shortest Route to Success
New businesses are often said to be "one in a thousand" (千三つ), meaning only 3 out of 1000 ideas come to fruition, and a high rate of birth and death is an unavoidable reality. That's why Custamedia advocates a strategy of "MVP development" to launch small and fast, rapidly iterating through small failures to approach the correct solution.
At Custamedia, "failures" are considered the best teaching material. By sharing them with colleagues and using them as fuel for improvement, failures transform from "setbacks" into "valuable data for success."
Custamedia will spread this culture of capitalizing on "small failures" and continuously updating at high speed throughout Japan.
## "New Business Failure BAR": A Sanctuary for Challengers Born from Accumulated "Failures"
Custamedia has a beloved event called the "New Business Failure BAR." The "New Business Failure BAR" is an event where people interested in new businesses gather with drinks in hand. After speakers share their own failure stories, all participants freely introduce themselves and share their failure experiences. Most of the new businesses supported by Custamedia were born from numerous trials and errors and "failures." In the field of new business, true learning often lies not in clean success formulas, but in gritty failure stories.
Based on this conviction, the "New Business Failure BAR" event is now being held for the eighth time.
