Background

In 1997, Toru Takasuka resigned as the Vice President/Director of Matsushita Electric Works V-Internet Operations, an in-house venture company he helped to create. Along with partners Yoshihisa Aono and Shinya Hata, he started the software company in Matsuyama, Ehime with a $200,000 loan from family and friends. The company aimed to produce Japan's first web-based groupware products. Cybozu, Japanese for "cyber-kid", rapidly gained market share in the Japanese market. Within three years the company went public – at that time the fastest company rise to IPO in the history of Japan's 2nd section of the Tokyo Stock Exchange.[6] Today Cybozu is the number one groupware producer in Japan.[citation needed] They are currently listed on the 1st section of the Tokyo Stock Exchange.[7]

Cybozu prides itself on having a corporate culture that enables its employees to have a healthy work-life balance.[8] In 2017, Cybozu was listed by Great Place to Work as the number one mid-sized Japanese company for women.[9]

In November 2013, Cybozu along with Zendesk launched their joint marketing efforts at the cybozu.com conference on cloud computing in Tokyo.[10]
