Mommy Crystal Inc., established on December 12, 2019, by founder and CEO Masae Nitta, operates regional community platforms aimed at supporting and empowering mothers. The company's name and logo are inspired by Cinderella's glass slipper, reflecting the desire to provide mothers with moments to cherish themselves.
The firm manages "Mamikuri®," a real-world community for mothers, primarily in the Osaka North摂, Sakai, and Hokkaido areas, with a cumulative membership of over 5,000. This platform provides a space for members to connect offline through various events. Mommy Crystal leverages the direct feedback and insights gathered from these communities to offer services to corporations and local governments. These services include planning and operating family-focused events to attract customers to commercial facilities, conducting surveys and roundtable discussions with mothers for market research, and providing outsourcing and recruitment matching tailored to mothers.
A key initiative is the "Mama's Job Hunting Club," a project commissioned by the city of Sakai since 2022. This program aims to boost the employment motivation of mothers who wish to work but face barriers, thereby addressing local labor shortages. The company also runs programs like "Fastre®," an exercise program for children from 0 years old, and various parent-child events such as high-tech races. Collaborating with municipalities and companies, Mommy Crystal undertakes projects that address social issues like female empowerment and regional revitalization.
In November 2023, the company received an investment from the Osaka Social Issue Resolution No. 2 Investment Limited Partnership, a fund jointly established by Future Venture Capital Co., Ltd. and Osaka Shinkin Bank, to further its mission of promoting female active participation and regional development.
