خلفية ثقافية

Traditionally, Japanese society valued stability in large corporations. This phrase has gained massive popularity alongside the rise of Tokyo's startup hubs like Shibuya. It carries a 'cool' factor that older, more rigid business terms lack.

💡

The Computer Connection

The verb `立ち上げる` is also used for 'booting up' a computer. Use this to remember the meaning: you are 'powering up' your business!

⚠️

Not for Shops

If you are opening a physical store like a cafe or boutique, use `開店` (kaiten). Using `立ち上げる` for a small shop can sound a bit overly corporate.

What It Means

Think of this like setting up a large tent. You have the materials, and now you are physically raising the structure. In a business sense, it means you are the founder. You are creating a brand new entity where nothing existed before. It feels more active and modern than just 'starting' a job. It suggests initiative, planning, and a bit of bravery.

How To Use It

You use this phrase when you are the one in charge. It usually follows the pattern [Organization] + を立ち上げる. While it most commonly refers to companies, you can also use it for projects. It works for non-profits or even small community groups too. Just remember that it implies a significant amount of effort. You wouldn't use it for a weekend hobby.

When To Use It

This is perfect for professional networking events. Use it when explaining your career goals to a mentor. It sounds great in a business pitch or a LinkedIn bio. If you are talking to friends about your big dreams, this phrase adds weight. It shows you are serious about your entrepreneurial journey. It is very common in the tech and startup world.

When NOT To Use It

Avoid using this for physical retail shops like a bakery. For those, the word 開店する (opening a store) is better. Don't use it if you are just joining a new team. It is strictly for the person doing the founding. Also, don't use it for very small, informal tasks. Starting a group chat isn't 'standing up a company.' That would sound a bit too dramatic!

Cultural Background

Japan was famous for the 'lifetime employment' salaryman culture for decades. However, things are changing rapidly now. The 'startup' boom has made 立ち上げる a very trendy and respected term. It reflects a shift toward individual ambition and innovation. In the past, starting your own thing was risky. Now, it is seen as a sign of modern leadership.

Common Variations

If you want to sound very formal, use 起業する (kigyou suru). For legal or official registration, use 設立する (setsuritsu suru). If you are talking about a computer or software, 立ち上げる means 'to boot up.' This double meaning makes it feel very tech-savvy. You might also hear ベンチャーを立ち上げる for tech startups.

ملاحظات الاستخدام

The phrase is neutral-to-formal and very safe for business use. It carries a nuance of 'launching' or 'setting up' rather than just the legal act of registration.

💬

The 'Venture' Vibe

In Japan, startups are often called 'Venture Companies.' Saying you want to `立ち上げる` one makes you sound like part of the modern innovation wave.
