About OC Inc.

Founded in 2010, OC Inc. has historically centered its business on the design and development of web systems and services. In recent years, the firm has pivoted its focus toward Generative AI technologies. Its portfolio includes the development of sophisticated knowledge bases using Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) and the creation of "AI Cast," a platform that synergizes 3D avatars with voice AI to deliver interactive digital experiences.

Strategic Objectives and Future Outlook

The capital raised will be strategically deployed to advance the development of "Gateway DX," establish new implementation case studies, and bolster the company’s sales and marketing infrastructure. With expected net proceeds of approximately 44.8 million yen, the budget is allocated toward personnel costs, R&D, sales promotion, and general working capital. Moving forward, OC Inc. intends to scale its presence in physical sectors such as hospitality and retail, evolving the service into a recurring revenue model encompassing system licensing and operational support.
