Shosukabu.com Launches New Series 'Forbes Georgia's 100 Richest', First Webinar in Early August

Shosukabu.com Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Nerima-ku, Tokyo; Chairman and CEO: Yutaka Yamashita; hereinafter "the Company"), which operates a platform for liquidity in shares of unlisted companies, announces the launch of a new webinar series titled 'Yutaka Yamashita on Forbes Georgia's 100 Richest.' This series, part of the Company’s strategic investment initiatives and long-term investment strategy, will delve into the economic structure of Georgia—a country increasingly recognized as a hub for global capital. The first session will be held in early August 2026.

The Company consistently emphasizes long-term investment objectives aimed at sustainable value creation deeply rooted in local economies, rather than speculative investments focused on short-term trading profits. In this new series, the Company will database the careers and capital accumulation processes of the 100 ultra-high-net-worth individuals selected by local media 'Forbes Georgia,' and examine the underlying truths of the national economy and the realities of frontier investing.

The inaugural session will spotlight Dimitri Ramishvili, ranked 100th on the list.

Yutaka Yamashita, Chairman and CEO of the Company, a University of Tokyo economics graduate who actively operates multiple real businesses (healthcare, education, agriculture, etc.) in Georgia, will provide a thorough analysis from his unique capital logic on Ramishvili’s 'organizational management capabilities' and 'pivot strategy into integrated entertainment businesses.'

1. Background of the Webinar: Why Focus on Ramishvili Now?

Mr. Ramishvili, who served as chairman of Georgia’s domestic league (Prof Liga), stood at the forefront of football governance, managing diverse stakeholders and organizational governance. After enduring the 2010 dissolution of the organization, he founded the diversified investment firm 'Iveria Group' and successfully transitioned into a prominent entrepreneur.

The company operates core casino businesses within prime Radisson Blu hotels in Tbilisi and Batumi, sports betting (Iveria Bet), and even a large-scale integrated urban development project at Republic Square in partnership with major conglomerate Silk Road Group.

His successful conversion of 'industry knowledge' as a former professional league chairman into a betting business, and his strategic insight into the illiquidity and scarcity of owned assets, deeply resonate with Chairman Yamashita’s consistent focus on 'organizational governance theory' and 'optimization of underutilized assets' in shareholder activism and global investments in Japan.

This webinar will extract actionable insights for business positioning and investment strategies from the data of billionaires who have thrived under emerging-market capitalism.

2. Main Topics of the Webinar

The webinar will provide detailed explanations on the following four key topics:

(1) The lineage of 'organizational management capability' from sports administration to business operations

How the versatile skills developed through stakeholder coordination and league management were applied to launching a diversified investment company.

(2) Design philosophy of hotel-based casino businesses capturing 'location-based asset value'

The logic of leveraging existing tourism infrastructure as a customer acquisition channel, with capital allocation toward risk diversification and illiquid assets.

(3) Monetization of industry knowledge as an intangible asset and diversification strategy

The consistency in a career path from inside football to sports betting, and the construction of mutually complementary brands.

(4) A practical case of a minority player collaborating with large corporations on a major integrated urban development

Perspectives on minority shareholder rights protection and strategic approaches that enable involvement in large-scale projects through partnership design.
