As a wholly owned subsidiary of a major Niigata corporate group, we worked on commercializing the business for three years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
During that time, I was more like an office worker than an entrepreneur.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The flag that was once raised, "A Bridge of Dreams to Niigata," was also quietly lowered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The young president was highly regarded by the group's owners and had a chance to remain as a close aide to the second-generation leadership.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Becoming an executive at a large company with 10,000 employees is a path that many people would choose without hesitation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But he was different.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He chose "unfinished business" over stability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
"I want to perfect this technology."<\/p>\n\n\n\n
After a year of service, he left the company, and I left my position as part-time technical manager and returned to my own technical consulting company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But the story doesn't end here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the early days of the company's establishment in Niigata, we had a miraculous encounter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
She is the same generation as the young CEO, studied architecture at a technical university, and is a bright, talented, and proactive woman.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
His blog has 300 readers. He confidently gave technical explanations in front of 50 people at a power company research institute, and is trusted by executives of major companies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I promoted her to sales manager.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When I left Niigata, I was convinced that she had the ability to start a business, so we decided to start a company together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The capital is 10 million yen. She has 5 million yen and I have 5 million yen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The company name is Aqua Noel Co., Ltd.
Noel means "birth."<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It was the second birth of the technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Immediately after its establishment, the company received a 10 million yen loan from the Japan Finance Corporation.
The business got off to a smooth start at the Tokyo headquarters, and the company secured contracts with major companies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But fate will try again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
She got sick.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I will temporarily take over management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Around that time, the young president decided to go independent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He became president, and I gave him all of my shares.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As the founding president, she stepped down from management, and he began buying up the shares every year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I took a step back and chose to work under him as a technical advisor and take charge of development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
That is not a "defeat."<\/p>\n\n\n\n
By giving in, he chose to make use of his skills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The current standard machine series was completed within this company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Breaking up is not the end.
It was the beginning of true independence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Technology will start moving again not when it is tied down by an organization, but when it is set free with determination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Next time: The birth of the standard machine and the trial and error behind it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We are looking for people to join us in creating the continuation of this story.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
