Tokai Television Broadcasting Corporation (Headquarters: Higashi-ku, Nagoya City), which operates the corporate-oriented new business support service 'Edge', has made a good start with Pasco Corporation's first baby food brand 'Nigipaku Friends', which it supported for business development.
Just 17 minutes after the start of sales on June 30, 2026, the target amount was achieved, and currently, the total amount of support purchases has exceeded 400% of the target. The 'Super Early Bird Plan' and 'Bundle Discount Plan', which were prepared in limited quantities, have ended their planned numbers, and many parents have expressed their sympathy.
To let more people know, we continue to disseminate project information through SNS and activity reports! Please take a look at the Makuake project page.

Edge continues to accompany turning employees' thoughts into business
This 'Nigipaku Friends' is an example where an idea born from the childcare experience of one employee has gained the sympathy of many people and taken the first step towards business development, which is evaluated in the market.
Edge will continue to support the creation of new businesses based on the real experiences and thoughts of each employee, not just the technology and brands that companies possess, and will accompany challenges that lead to the solution of social issues.

Pasco employee Sakura Hayashi
The trigger for development was the childcare experience of Sakura Hayashi, an employee of Pasco who is also the mother of two children.
'I have to feed them properly'
'I made it, but they won't eat it'
Because of the strong feelings for the children, preparing and feeding weaning food can become a big burden for parents.
Ms. Hayashi herself also experienced similar conflicts while facing childcare during the weaning food period.
From there was born the idea that
'It's okay to rely more on products and services'
'You don't have to bear the burden of childcare alone'
