Founder & Director
SHOTA KATO
Shota Kato is a serial entrepreneur and investor with a deep background in AI, data-driven systems, and digital transformation. A MENSA member since his teens, he published research on perceptrons at the age of nineteen and applied his technical expertise during his studies at Kyoto University’s Faculty of Engineering. Early in his career, Kato developed a “mini-Amazon warehouse system” from scratch using zero initial capital—an innovation that helped him achieve the No.2 monthly corporate sales position on Amazon within just over a year.
He later broadened his focus to include marketing technologies, creating “ProLINE Free,” an automation tool for LINE Official Accounts that grew to more than 80,000 users by 2024. Combining practical business acumen with a passion for cutting-edge research, Kato has successfully guided multiple ventures from inception to acquisition, consistently demonstrating how advanced technology can drive tangible business outcomes.
