  • Atsuki Ishida

While he was a university student, Atsuki Ishida founded Reset Co., Ltd., a company that engages in the production of Internet-related contents and provides consultation services.
He was highly active in the industry, which led to his involvement in the establishment of DREAM TRAIN INTERNET INC. (DTI) , based on the request from Mitsubishi Electric Corporation to participate in the establishment of an ISP. After becoming the Chief Strategy Officer of DTI, he supervised the entire operation, including designing, advertisement and contents development.
He founded FreeBit.com Co. Ltd. (currently FreeBit Co. Ltd.) in 2000. He aims to expand into new business areas in order to "open up the possibilities of the Internet," taking advantage of the ISP management know-how he acquired while he was in his previous positions.
