DX for Startups
Leave IT to us,
focus on the business.
From Google Workspace, domain, and device setup at founding, to account management and security as you scale — a support-desk-style service that takes the whole ICT side off a startup's plate.
Sound familiar?
Just founded — no domain, no email yet, and no idea what to set up in which order
Too small to hire IT staff, but IT problems come up every week
Headcount jumped after fundraising, and on/offboarding accounts is falling apart
A client or investor asked about our security posture, and we had no good answer
These are exactly the tasks that eat into a startup's core hours. DX for Startups takes this entire area off your hands.
Setup that matches your phase
We look at your phase, team, and budget first, then propose only what you need now — no premature over-investment.
PHASE 1
Founding — from zero
We stand up your company's entire IT stack, fast. Even a one-person company is welcome.
- Domain acquisition & configuration
- Google Workspace rollout (reseller pricing, up to 9.5% off)
- Email, calendar & Drive structure
- Device procurement advice & kitting
- Core SaaS selection (accounting, contracts, etc.)
PHASE 2
Scaling — systems that survive growth
Account and security foundations that keep working as hiring accelerates.
- On/offboarding account workflows
- Permissions & SSO across Slack and other SaaS
- Security policy & device management
- Intranet portal & knowledge base
- Office networking & relocation support
Day to day, we're your support desk
Setup isn't the end — we stay on as the go-to desk for everyday IT questions.
Ask-us-anything desk
"Email isn't arriving", "Which laptop should we buy?" — we take all the questions no one in-house can answer.
Three languages
Japanese, English, and Spanish — works as-is for international teams.
Startup speed
A senior team working directly with you — no middlemen, no waiting. We move when you're stuck.
How is this different from hiring IT staff?
A phase where you need a dedicated IT person will come eventually. This service covers the time until then — lighter than hiring, and reliably.
| Hiring IT staff | DX for Startups | |
|---|---|---|
| Time to start | Months of recruiting + hiring costs | Up and running within days of your inquiry |
| Monthly cost | Fixed payroll (experienced IT staff typically from ¥350k/mo + social insurance) | Only what you actually use |
| Coverage | Depends on one person's skill set | A team's know-how — infrastructure to SaaS to development, in 3 languages |
| Turnover & key-person risk | Handover can break when they leave | None — configurations and procedures are documented |
| Going in-house later | — | When it's time to hire, we support recruiting and hand over everything |
We won't tell you to outsource forever. When the time comes to bring IT in-house, we help you get there.

FAQ
How small can the company be?
One person, right after founding, is fine. We also welcome pre-incorporation consultations — if incorporation is planned, we can guide the Google Workspace licensing too.
We have no technical members. Is that OK?
Absolutely. We'll ask about your situation in plain language and organize what's needed on our side. This service is built precisely for teams without an IT person.
How much does it cost?
It depends on scope, so we quote per engagement. Licenses like Google Workspace come at reseller pricing (up to 9.5% off), and setup is staged so early costs stay small.
Can we use you for one-off work?
Yes — founding setup only, or just the office-move networking, is fine. The ongoing support desk can start whenever you actually need it.
Make today the last day you worry about IT.
Start with just organizing where things stand. A startup's hours belong to the business.
