※ Our company supports 'April Dream,' which aims to make April 1st a day to share dreams. This press release is the dream of UCHIAGE Co., Ltd.
'Entrepreneurship and success are not reserved for a handful of geniuses or charismatic individuals. Everyone is born rich with wonderful potential.'
UCHIAGE Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo; CEO: Ayano Yanai) hereby declares its dream to fully popularize 'career ownership'—allowing young people living in uncertain times to design their own futures without depending on companies or organizations—and to establish the supporting 'Team Building Do' as a global standard.
## Real anxieties of Gen Z discovered through 'Shacho-meshi' dialogues
In recent years, our CEO Yanai has been regularly holding 'Shacho-meshi,' a recruitment matching event where she talks honestly with students. Many young people she meets there, despite being talented, harbor strong anxieties such as 'I have no special talent,' 'I'm afraid of failure,' or 'Is it okay for me to remain a corporate employee?'
Every time she hears these words, Yanai thinks: 'I was exactly the same.'
## Success can be replicated through 'Systems' and 'Partners'

Business results are not the privilege of a few geniuses; they become a 'replicable system' that anyone can achieve by forming a team with 'partners in the same boat' who share the same values and vision. Individual limits can be overcome by the team.
## Our Dream: Establishing 'Team Building Do' as a Global Standard
In an era where AI advances and many economic activities are automated, the values that only humans can provide—such as 'unexpected compassion' and 'building teams connected by emotions'—become even more important.
Just as soccer spread worldwide and gave birth to professional players, and martial arts were systematized as 'Budo' (the martial way) to be passed down to future generations, we aim to establish team building as a 'Do' (a way or path) that anyone can learn, practice, and pass on to the next generation.
