Hello. I used to be "Employee Number One." I was part of a Series B startup with a team of 150 people. Our sales tripled (3x). It was the sparkling startup dream.

But the VCs looked at us and said:

"3x? That's garbage. We need 10x."

In that moment, I realized: "This game is rigged."

I burned out. I got thrown away. So, I got off the "success track."

With $35,000 of my own money (and debt), I launched a brand new, cutting-edge tech startup. I launched it from a "spacious high-rise office" (my 3m² closet in rural Ibaraki, Japan).

And here is the product: OTIOSE.

It is not a productivity tool. It is not B2B SaaS. It is an app designed to waste your time beautifully. It contains Sanity.

The Mission: "Let Productivity Rot"

The world is obsessed with "Productivity" and "AI." But what we really need right now is to be "Unproductive."

Through my startup experience, I realized four irrational truths about this world:

• You can be laid off anytime, regardless of your skills.
• The demand for irrational growth. 3x isn't enough; they force 10x. It's distorted.
• AI makes creators obsolete, even though it learned from our work.
• We can't even speak our honest feelings anymore because of remote work and corporate politics.

Everyone is sick of this world. That is why I want to deliver "Serious Playfulness" to your stressful offices.

The Strategy: The Trojan Horse

My goal is to deliver unproductivity to every productive company. Here is the plan:

Humanity returns 👍
