Recently this event「Let’s make apps by GMO 」 was held by GMO’s venture company, GMO Ventre Partners. They also recently provided us with capital investment.

In 10 years, social apps have been the 1 quantum change to the web 

Istpika’s strategy focusses on the following platforms:


Istpika began with Facebook and iPhone development but Japanese social networks opened up their API’s and we moved into development for those also. But when we consider the social game industry, Japanese and the international arena are both booming. The key to overseas social games will be the use of iPhone, android based social games. For us the time invested and size of our company are a restriction at the moment. Fortunately GMO has partnered with us and we plan to expand quickly.
Recently, we expanded our offices

GMO has started the “Let’s make apps” fund with 3 billion yen for individuals, companyes and other teams to produce social apps and also assist in providing support for them.
GMO who has monitored and invested in online projest for many years has put their foot forward and offered a huge fund, this is validation of the social app industry. For those companies still wondering whether it’s time to invest, there’s no time to waste.
Istpika aims to asist in any way to increase the quality level of the social app industry.
We’re taking the lead and look forward to working with you in the future.
