Why it matters
The book puts a company built on a structure founders are commonly warned against on the record, and it prints the second-term wave of departures next to the climb from 5 million to 700 million yen, so it reads as a repair log rather than a clean growth story.
Key Facts

- Timewitch was founded in 2021 by Takashi Okada and Kennosuke Miura, who split shares, decision-making rights, and debts 50/50.
- Timewitch reported 5 million yen in first-term annual sales and 700 million yen in annual sales five years after founding, with 3,000 cumulative client companies.
- Both founders are listed on the company's 100 million yen loan.

The 1,760 yen volume covers the five years since Okada and co-CEO Kennosuke Miura founded Timewitch in 2021, from 5 million yen in first-term sales to 700 million yen in annual sales and 3,000 cumulative client companies. Shares, decision-making rights, and debts are split evenly between the two.
Both founders are named on the company's 100 million yen loan. That detail sits beside the growth numbers, and it is what makes the equal split concrete: shares, decision-making rights, and debts, the last one included.
Second-term sales reached 100 million yen, and that is the year colleagues left one after another. The company reports no departures in the past year and a half, after the two reworked how Timewitch was built. The book sets out the arrangements they credit for that: defined scope of delegation, divided budgets, and room to say plainly what a partner cannot take on.
