Strengthen support systems for customer success

ICT system that integrates early childhood facilities and homes to expand children's potential

We are developing tools to connect early childhood facilities with families through ICT systems (Brain) and web systems.

This system brings families, children, and institutions together to nurture a rich future for children.

We are developing the system not only to simplify the elements, but also to bring more awareness and discovery.

LinkAge Corporation

LinkAge, Inc. was born in August 2008.

We have consistently worked with over 2,000 organizations from taking children's photos to selling them.

With the philosophy of "transforming all love into power," a single circle grows into a large shape. From today to tomorrow, from the present to the future.

We will make the most of this know-how, from photography to sales. This service will reflect the wisdom of our members so that we can give back to those in the field of education by focusing on education x IT.

We are the expression of growth. As an expression of growth, we aim not only to "communicate" but also to "convey". We gather the elements of growth that are scattered throughout the world and make adults aware of them. We are proud to offer a service that allows adults to utilize their awareness for the upbringing of their children. LinkAge will continue to aim to create a culture that is an ideal of new values as an organization that gives form to ideas with an open heart and mind, so that people do not become diluted with the development of technology.

LinkAge Business Model

LinkAge employees and contract photographers visit "educational institutions," mainly kindergartens, nursery schools, and certified childcare centers, as well as organizations operating children's classes and sports clubs, to photograph events and daily life. The important moments ("photos and videos" = "products") of each second captured there are sold through the "memoridge" photo sales system.
*We currently deal mainly with kindergartens, nursery schools, certified childcare centers, elementary schools, junior high schools, high schools, and universities.
Basically, we do not receive a photography fee from each organization, and our photographers and creators take pictures for free. In order to commercialize the data, we interview each organization about the "memories and records they want to preserve," shoot and edit them, and post them on a photo and video sales site called "memoridge" for parents and families to purchase, thereby securing profits.
