◾️Comments from ON&BOARD Corporation Accompanying Capitalists for each company on the stage (titles omitted, in order of company name)

Equity Medical, Inc,Mr. Takanori Kuki

Ladies and gentlemen, the medical industry is currently littered with various problems such as “Naobi (direct beauty, doctors who have completed their initial training after graduating from medical school and going directly into cosmetic medicine),” “more than 60% of hospitals nationwide are in the red,” “lack of successors for clinics,” “reform of the way doctors work,” etc. Mr. Kuki utilized his experience in investing in and rolling up healthcare-related companies such as MS corporations at a trading company,
By establishing the No. 1 digital native clinic chain in Japan and Asia, he is trying to present the medical industry with “a new option that can protect insured medical care and support local medical care. Please support us in this challenge! (Accompanying Capitalist: Ishizuka)

OptiOutcome, plans to establish a company,Junya Yamamoto

SaaS is a revolutionary tool to improve labor productivity of companies. However, it is very difficult to select the most suitable SaaS product for a company and have everyone use it in an appropriate manner after its introduction, unless the company introducing the SaaS product pays attention to this issue.
Mr. Yamamoto, who faces this challenge in the information system department, is working on a business to improve the efficiency of corporate purchasing and management processes through the AI Buyer's Agent business. (Accompanying Capitalist: Hasegawa)

Company to be established,Taro Kuroda

Medical data is important for pharmaceutical companies and medical device manufacturers, and recently, legislation has been put in place to allow for the use of RWD to file for approval without the need for clinical trials.
In this context, Mr. Kuroda, an active surgeon and AI engineer, will use his experience at a hospital to solve actual problems faced by doctors while acquiring detailed data beyond receipt data and applying it to development at pharmaceutical companies. (Accompanying Capitalist: Takeuchi)

Strategic AI,Ryuma Suzuki

I am sure that everyone here is already keenly aware of the fact that AI is replacing a significant portion of research due to the overwhelming evolution of LLM in recent years.
Mr. Suzuki is aiming to use his experience as a consultant to launch a new type of AI consulting service that will distinguish itself from existing firms by utilizing AI. (Accompanying Capitalist: Hasegawa)

Professional Human Resources Organization, Inc,Akira Takahashi,

As Japan faces a full-fledged population decline in the future, we believe that improving the mobility of human resources is an unavoidable theme.
Mr. Takahashi has been active in the industry for many years as a human resources headhunter, and in the course of helping tens of thousands of people change jobs, he has focused on the corporate side of human resources recruitment, and through next-generation AI agents, he aims to realize a world where companies and candidates can meet more efficiently and take on new challenges. (Accompanying Capitalist: A person who supports the client company in the recruitment process. (Accompanying Capitalist: Hasegawa)

Kyoku AI Co,Eiken Kawa

LLM is available in many fields, and clinics are no exception. Doctors are very busy and there is a constant need for LLM.
Mr. Kawa, a graduate of the University of Tokyo's Faculty of Science, has developed and tested a product that is easy for clinics to adopt and scale up. (Accompanying Capitalist: Takeuchi)

Descarty Corporation,Yota Hamada

I am sure you can imagine that there are many hurdles to using LLM in large companies and that it is sometimes difficult to introduce LLM.
Mr. Hamada has spent three years building a system that is easy for non-engineers to use, while solving the problems of compatibility with legacy systems in large companies and the need for a high level of security, which are the causes of such difficulties. (Accompanying Capitalist: Takeuchi)
