At READYFOR, our vision is to create a world in which anyone can achieve what they want and our mission
is to increase the heartfelt flow of cash. This approach guides our crowdfunding business as well as our donationand subsidy matching business. In particular, we have devised fundraising methods targeting fields in which thenature of capitalism typically limits the flow of cash, including medical care, research, NPOs, community
vitalization, culture, and other fields outside the bounds of economic rationality. In the future, we will continue
to work toward having a social impact as a social startup, a company concerned with both social contribution andbusiness growth. We are deeply grateful to the Dai-ichi Life Insurance Company —which has been involved inmany impact investments in the past—for their extremely generous support. Under their ongoing guidance, wewill push forward to help bring about social reform.
