motioh Inc. (Location: Shibuya-ku, Tokyo; CEO: Kazuhiko Ohno) has launched the app version (iOS/Android) of 'motioh,' a C2C platform specializing in sports that visualizes individual sports skills and directly matches coaches (those who want to teach) with participants (those who want to learn).

Background of Development: Turning Hidden 'Personal Sports Skills' into Social Assets Until now, receiving high-quality sports instruction generally required attending specialized schools or hiring a limited number of professional coaches. On the other hand, there are many people who possess solid sports experience and knowledge but have no place to utilize them.

In Japan's sports world, 'shortage of local instructors' and the 'second career' of retired athletes are also significant issues.

'motioh' was developed to connect these 'hidden individual skills' with people who need them, aiming for a society where everyone can achieve self-realization. We aim to be a platform that creates moving encounters where 'passion' turns into someone's 'achievement,' while contributing to the resolution of issues in the sports industry.

Three New Experiences Provided by 'motioh'

1. Anyone can succeed as a 'sports coach' and earn income Special qualifications or professional backgrounds are not mandatory. You can list your skills with flexible prices and dates according to your lifestyle, such as batting practice on a riverbed on weekends or lessons after work. Initial and monthly fees are completely free.

2. Not just practical skills! Various listings like 'online consultation' are possible Knowledge-based services like 'consultation on how to choose running shoes for beginners' or 'creating training menus' can be listed for online delivery. You can provide value to users nationwide regardless of location.

3. A safe and secure transaction system completed with a single smartphone Everything from finding a coach to booking and payment is completed within the app. The world-standard platform 'Stripe' is introduced for payments, so direct exchange of money between users is unnecessary. Pre-payment by credit card prevents loss due to last-minute cancellations, creating a safe environment for both parties.
