We support April Dream, an initiative to make April 1st a day to share dreams.
This press release represents the dream of "Socolab Co., Ltd."
We at Socolab aim to realize a society where anyone can be on the "creating side," aiming for a future where ideas instantly become products and reach all over the world.
"Generating what you want. Becoming the world's number one imagination creation company"
Until now, "manufacturing" has been considered the domain of a select few with technology, capital, and facilities.
However, we want to break that common sense.
- Pictures you draw become products
- Ideas in your head take shape on the spot
- They reach someone in the world and become valuable
We want to make such a world the norm.
Offered Service
"Hand-drawn pictures become 'products that sell globally' as they are"
"Rakugaki Character Maker" provided by Socolab is a service where:
- Just by uploading a hand-drawn sketch or image
- Designer AI enhances the quality
- It is commercialized into merchandise such as figures
- You can buy and sell it on the spot
The features are:
- Purchasable from 1 item
- No inventory risk
- Can be sold globally as is
In other words, anyone can become a "maker."
It is particularly supported by families, and the "experience of a child's drawing becoming a product" generates strong emotion and excitement.
Why we state this dream
Creating is a right for all people
We believe that "creating" is not a privilege for a few.
The ideas and sensibilities that everyone has are valuable, and the environment that can give them shape determines the richness of society.
If:
- Children
- The elderly
- No matter where you are in the world
Could create value with "things they created," a new economy and new hope would be born there.
We believe this will also lead to a society without disparity and poverty.
Thoughts put into April Dream
April Dream is a "day to talk about dreams."
However, for us, this dream is not just an ideal.
Already:
- Pictures drawn by children become products
- Families purchase them
- Someone picks them up somewhere in the world
Such experiences are beginning to emerge.
Making this small step a global norm.
That is Socolab's challenge.
Socolab will continue to challenge itself towards the realization of a "world where anyone can create."
