RIDE is a VC fund in Tokyo focused on Internet and Communities. RIDE MEDIA & DESIGN is the foundation of RIDE MEDIA & DESIGN, a company that can make the most of individual members' abilities and a company where each member can play a leading role. The era of large organizations is over, and the era of "individuality" and "individuality" has come. Free work styles have becomepossible, and platforms and solutions that support them have been prepared. However, the change in style and way of thinking about work is not our "essential value" or happiness.
