Green Monster is a company that operates primarily through smartphone applications designed to help people "learn by experiencing" investment and wealth building. The company develops and operates products that explain FX trading, stock investing, and long-term investment plans in an easy-to-understand way through game-like demo trading and educational content featuring comics and illustrations.

The company's main customers are individual users with little to no investment experience or beginner-level investors, as well as securities firms and FX companies seeking to acquire customers. Green Monster provides its app for free and generates revenue primarily through affiliate commissions when users open accounts via the app. Additional revenue comes from paid investment school courses and financial planning services for corporate clients.

The business is divided into two main segments: "experiential investment learning" and "wealth-building support." The former includes demo trading and learning apps such as "FX Navi," "Toushika," and "Kabu Tas," which offer practical training using real market data and customer referrals through account comparison links. The latter provides investment education through the "Investment School Premium" and FP consulting services that offer financial education and life planning proposals to both corporate and individual clients.

The company aims to achieve a market capitalization of 10 billion yen in the near term. In the short term, it targets record-high sales and operating profit by June 2028. Medium-term goals for June 2031 include EBITDA of 1.5 billion yen, increasing the revenue ratio of asset-building support services to approximately 40%, and completing five cumulative M&A transactions. Key performance indicators include app downloads as a leading metric, with emphasis on investment debut support numbers (account openings) and commission per transaction. The company references a historical average commission of 26,388 yen per account opening.

Priority investment areas are experiential investment education and asset-building support services. The company differentiates itself by targeting inexperienced to beginner-level investors. Specifically, it will strengthen products that drive learning engagement through manga, illustrations, and game-like demo trading. For existing services such as "FX Navi," the company will improve profitability while developing new products to reduce FX dependency. For corporate clients, beyond the success-based referral model to securities and FX companies, the company will expand revenue through paid educational programs and financial planning services, differentiating itself through "learning by experience" education unavailable from competitors.

For new market development and business expansion, the company positions asset-building support services as a "new growth engine" and will pursue strategic investment and M&A to strengthen its business portfolio. To increase brand awareness, it will actively deploy web advertising, mass media advertising, and event participation to grow the user base and increase account openings. Organizationally, the company will recruit and develop talent in service planning and business development while strengthening internal controls and governance.

On the technology front, the company prioritizes product quality and system stability, continuously improving app features and UI/UX. Specific initiatives include expanding demo trading and simulation functions, enhancing personalization based on usage data, investing in server capacity and backup systems to support increased usage, and implementing thorough measures against unauthorized access and malware. These efforts will enhance user experience while building a secure, scalable foundation to support growth.
