99% of the uncharted Earth will be opened up.

We are exploring the hidden values of the Earth based on space technology, AI, and years of expertise.
We are evolving the real estate procurement process, which has relied on outdated industry systems, personal experiences, and analog methods, into technology accessible to everyone, challenging the 99% untapped market.

Our spirit is to create moments of "WOW!".
We believe that the moments of surprise set society, work, and life in motion.
Re-examining the common sense of the Earth from a cosmic perspective.
That is our challenge.

(Issues01)

The specificity of real estate procurement

Real estate procurement relies on personal resources such as connections, intuition, and experience. Approximately 71% is sourced through analog connections, and due to inaccessible information and analog practices, the procurement of quality land information has remained low in reproducibility.

WHERE aims to visualize and automate this process by combining satellite data, AI, and real estate expertise, transforming it into a "purchasing technique" that anyone can handle.

Fixed market structure

The initiative in real estate transactions lies with the business operators who first capture the needs of the owners. Therefore, human networks play a crucial role, making it difficult for businesses that cannot become the “first company” to even enter the market. Furthermore, the roles of local and major players are implicitly divided, causing the entire industry to remain inefficient and stagnant.

WHERE is attempting to rewrite this structure, which depends on timing and connections, using the power of data and technology.

The structure that cannot find "valuable land".

It's not that there are no properties that meet needs, but rather that they cannot be found. This is the true feeling of many businesses. The value of land changes depending on how it is used, and a vast number of conditions need to be matched.

The service "WHERE" utilizes proprietary technology to integrate satellite, administrative, and private data, allowing AI to extract high-value candidate locations. We unearth land that lies outside the maps and deliver "Oh!" tailored to each individual need.

The map of new living and challenges that "WHERE" creates

Takeo Akutsu

Expanding the sphere of human activity" - this is one of the reasons we are developing WHERE. Animals instinctively protect and expand their territories. Humans have also expanded their sphere of activity while protecting their land and country.



The same is true of life. We start in our mother's womb at birth, expand our sphere of activity from a futon to a room or an entire house, and as we grow up, we ride bicycles and cars to expand our worldview. As we grow up, we expand our worldview by riding bicycles and cars. Throughout human history, the expansion of our sphere of activity has been a symbol of evolution. Columbus crossed the ocean, Edison pioneered the “night,” and the Wright Brothers took to the skies.



The next frontier is space.

We at WHERE have a vision of the future, “Exploring the real estate on Mars,” and are expanding the domain of human activity into space. The first step toward this goal is the development of WHERE. This tool, which utilizes satellite data and AI to visualize the value of real estate on Earth, aims to expand people's sphere of life beyond national borders and become a new social infrastructure.



We will continue to take on the challenge of “expanding the sphere of human activity” while facing our instincts as animals, our challenges as human beings, and the potential of each individual's life.

Through “WHERE,” we aim to realize a society in which people can expand their own potential and live more freely and happily.
