Business
Guided by the belief that individuals should be free to create value on their own terms, Lifescape operates across three business areas built on AI and technology.
Launched in 2004, @SOHO is a business matching platform with more than 300,000 registered members. At a time when the word crowdsourcing did not yet exist, we introduced a membership based model with a single purpose: to connect skilled individuals with the companies that need them.
What @SOHO delivers
- A membership platform where freelancers and companies meet as equals
- AI driven skill tagging, job matching and profile optimization
- No transaction fees, with both parties free to deal directly
- Trust earned over two decades of operation, with 300,000 users
Features currently in development
- Shift management: clear visibility of working schedules per project
- File transfer: secure sharing of large files
- Quotes and invoices: creation, history and reissue in one place
- Contract management: electronic contracts, progress tracking and automatic renewal notices
- Social communication: light connections that turn into real work
Built on modern web marketing practice developed in Australia, our SaaS tools help solo founders and small businesses turn revenue into a repeatable system. AI runs through all of it, making marketing both more efficient and more effective.

Where we are going
Making @SOHO the place where individuals and companies stay connected over time
Giving one person the power to generate revenue, through our marketing SaaS
Automating social operations so that time and attention go where they matter
The one person unicorn challenge
Without outside investment and without growing headcount, Lifescape is pursuing a new business model: one person, armed with ideas and systems, creating value on a 10 billion yen scale.
Maximize value without adding people. Expand through systems rather than forcing growth.
This is not efficiency for its own sake. It is an attempt to redefine work itself. Through the one person unicorn model, we want to show as many people as possible what a free life outside any organization can look like.
