خلفية ثقافية
In Japan, the term 'standing up' (tachiageru) is also used for starting computer systems or large-scale projects. It reflects a culture that values the 'launch' phase as a monumental effort. Recently, it has become synonymous with the 'zero-to-one' mindset in the Japanese tech scene.
Sound like a Pro
If you want to sound like a serious entrepreneur, use `新規事業` (shinki jigyou - new business) instead of just `事業`.
Don't overdo it
Avoid using this for a side-hustle that you only do once a month. It implies a full-time commitment.

What It Means
Imagine you are building a structure from scratch. You have the materials, the plan, and the will. 事業を立ち上げる is that specific moment when you make the business 'stand up.' It is more than just starting a task. It is about creating a formal entity or a serious project. You are moving from a mere idea to a functioning reality. It carries a sense of weight and professional ambition.
How To Use It
You use this phrase when you are the one in charge. It is a proactive expression. You combine 事業 (business/enterprise) with the verb 立ち上げる (to stand up/launch). You can use it to talk about your future dreams. You can also use it in a business meeting to describe a new department. It sounds very intentional and determined. Just remember, it is a bit heavy for a simple hobby.
When To Use It
This phrase is perfect for networking events. Use it when explaining your career goals to a mentor. It is also great for LinkedIn profiles or professional bios. If you are talking to your parents about quitting your job, this phrase makes you sound serious. It shows you have a real plan, not just a whim. You will often hear it in the tech and startup world in Tokyo.
When NOT To Use It
Do not use this for small, casual activities. If you are selling old clothes on an app, don't use it. That would sound like you are opening a global fashion house! Avoid it for short-term projects that have no future. It is not for a weekend lemonade stand. Using it for minor things makes you sound a bit over-dramatic. Keep it for ventures with long-term goals.
Cultural Background
Japan was traditionally a land of lifetime employment at big companies. Starting your own business was seen as very risky and rare. However, the 'startup' culture has exploded in recent years. This phrase has become a symbol of the new Japanese dream. It reflects a shift from being a 'salaryman' to being a 'founder.' It captures the energy of a changing economic landscape.
Common Variations
You might hear 起業する (kigyou suru), which is the formal word for 'starting a business.' Another common one is 会社を作る (kaisha o tsukuru), which literally means 'to make a company.' 立ち上げる is the most active and modern-sounding of the bunch. It feels like you are physically lifting the business into existence. It is the favorite phrase of young entrepreneurs in Shibuya.
ملاحظات الاستخدام
This phrase is neutral to formal. It is highly appropriate for business plans and professional introductions, but perfectly fine for serious personal conversations too.

The 'Stand Up' Secret
In Japanese, `立ち上げる` is also used for booting up a computer. It's all about bringing something 'dead' or 'static' to life!
