It wasn't about having more money, a bigger house, or a faster car.
It began with a simple question: How could I live a life of greater meaning, a stronger sense of purpose, and greater fulfillment?
From those questions, FCI’s story began. Tap a title to explore each part of the story.
01It began with a desire to live a “better” life.
02I worked in the field of wireless communication semiconductors—the technology that connects people.
I was involved in every stage of the process for the transceiver semiconductors used in mobile phones—from development through sales and marketing.
As mobile phones evolved from devices that only made calls into smartphones at the center of daily life, I felt it was a shame that such a powerful tool was used mainly as an output tool—watching videos, reading the news, or playing games.
I began exploring how to use the smartphone as an input tool—one that allows anyone to contribute something of their own and give it meaning.
I also studied React Native Expo 
and Firebase 
.
03We create tools by repeatedly asking “Why?” and “How?”.
The company name, FCI, stands for Factory of Creative Imagination.
Our logo is based on the Chinese character 問, which means “question.”
By repeatedly asking “Why?” and “How?”, we search for answers.
And from those questions, we create solutions that did not exist before...
04We create solutions for a better everyday life.
From those questions, we are creating solutions one by one.
