What 株式会社スタディラボ does

株式会社スタディラボ (Study Lab Inc.) is a Tokyo-based private EdTech company founded in 2015 that sells integrated ICT learning solutions to Japan's cram school (学習塾) market. Its flagship products are StudyOne, a printer-based service that links cram school classrooms with students' home learning environments for homework and progress tracking; OLECO, an online English conversation service delivered by native speakers; and supporting platforms including the MilClass LMS, OnePass single sign-on, schoolTakt classroom management, and the GeT online English trial product. The company also operates proprietary learning塾 under the Study Lab brand and offers EdTech strategy advisory and brand/communication design services to educational institutions.

The business is structured around four pillars: educational ICT system development and sales, EdTech strategy and advisory, brand strategy and communication design for educational institutions, and direct school operations. Revenue is generated primarily through recurring ICT content subscriptions (StudyOne, OLECO) and per-lesson transaction fees (GeT at 500 yen per lesson), supplemented by printer-based hardware/supplies sales, professional services, and cram school tuition. Distribution combines a direct consulting sales force with channel partnerships through partner learning塾 and content co-development arrangements with publishers (Bunri, Sprix), platforms (Studyplus for School), and listed companies such as FCE (TSE: 9564) and Waseda Academy (via subsidiary EduLine). Marketing is driven by participation in EDIX Tokyo and EDIX Osaka, the OLECO SUMMIT webinar series, co-hosted webinars with academic and industry partners, and editorial coverage in Japanese supplementary education trade media.
