About INFO ATHLETES, Inc.
"Web System Development for Mavericks"
INFO ATHLETES, Inc. was established in 2005 based on the somewhat youthful mindset of individuals in their late twenties who had a strong desire to create something with their own hands.
The first classification website we created didn't gain much traction, but our brand search site, "Brand Guide," performed reasonably well and generated considerable revenue. Our next venture was the real estate portal site called "Chintai 360". Challenging the conventional norms of traditional real estate websites where the duplicated properties were listed repeatedly and the ones you found were often already leased, it has become a small-scale success. However, we have yet to fully achieve our initial goal of "changing the conventional wisdom of real estate on the internet."
Questioning the "common sense," choosing what others don't want to do, and approaching seemingly trivial ideas with utmost seriousness—such unconventional thinking is essential for bringing forth new innovations, and it remains unchanged even after several years since our company's inception.
INFO ATHLETES, Inc. continues to pursue the creation of new value through web system development, ensuring that this "unconventional thinking" bears fruit as a business.
