What made you start developing Lindoc?

"I’m majoring in physics and I had been thinking that it’s hard to note a formula using mathematical symbols (like integrals, for example). When I was at university, I developed an app that allows you to note mathematical symbols on a web browser. This won the grand prix at a business contest held by the university’s VC arm. We were also chosen as a nominee for the Japanese goverment’s tech and science incubation/mentoring program in 2009. I then decided to quit graduate school, found a company using the prize money from the program, and be committed to developing more practical apps and services." Lindoc was founded last September, and teamed up Mr. Machino with two programmers and a designer. Mr. Machino also has a technical background but works as a key player for their business development stuffs right now. The most remarkable thing is they’ve given up E-pub, often called the world’s e-publication standard, and have chosen PDF as their key format for storing content.

I’ll be keeping my eye on their development and looking forward to a day when their solutions might change the Japanese education system from a conservative system to something more social, interactive and progressive.
