The number of companies adopting the system is steadily increasing, and it has been used in approximately 50,000 recruitment selections to date. As a business, sales have grown 10 times on a quarterly basis compared to 2022, when the company raised funds as a pre-series A.

With this funding, we will evolve from a “coding testing company” to an “engineering organization platform company.” In 2025, we will focus on expanding our market share in the coding testing business and achieving PMF for the candidate pool formation business, which is scheduled to be officially released in September, and will invest the funds raised equally in both businesses.
In 2026, we will also release an in-house talent evaluation solution, and our milestone is to have three products for recruitment, evaluation, and training. After 2026, we aim to expand our organizational structure to over 30 people by 2025, with the aim of creating an infrastructure for building an organization that promotes “fair evaluation of skills.”
