How PSPINC Is Managed Differently

 

PSPINC is not your typical tech company. Since its founding, we’ve followed a unique and disciplined approach to business management:

 

Founded with Personal Investment
PSPINC was started in 1987 in Kenichi Uchikura’s apartment with just $5,000 of his own money. There were no outside investors, no venture capital — just vision and determination.

 

Debt-Free Philosophy
PSPINC has never borrowed money, except for the mortgage on our Bellevue building — which is now fully paid off. We’ve built this company without relying on loans or credit.

 

Cash-First Equipment Policy
We do not purchase equipment or invest in infrastructure unless we have the cash to pay for it in full. No leasing, no financing — we believe in owning what we use.

 

Financial Stability
PSPINC always keeps enough cash reserves to operate for several months, even with no incoming revenue. This allows us to weather economic uncertainties without panic.

 

Privately Held Ownership
The company has only two shareholders: Kenichi Uchikura (owning over 80%) and Otsuka Corporation (owning less than 20%). This gives us the freedom to make decisions quickly and independently.

 

Employee-Centered Benefits
We provide one of the best healthcare coverage plans for our employees and their families. We believe a company is only as strong as the people who build it.

 

Flexible Work Environment
While we support remote work, it is offered selectively and not on a regular basis. We value in-person collaboration while maintaining flexibility when needed.

 

All In-House Operations
PSPINC does not outsource Development, Support, or Administration. Everything is handled internally by our dedicated team to ensure quality, consistency, and accountability.
