Techstars Tokyo Accelerator reposted this
Excited to support start-ups in Japan and my good friend Yuki Shirato with the inaugural #TechStars Tokyo class this summer along with many of my closest friends in Japan including Jeffrey Char Justin Waldron Ro Gupta and some amazing new friends as well. #Japan truly feels like it is at an inflection point after two decades of false starts, thanks to efforts like these as well as others supported by entrepreneurs, investors, and all part of the government including of course good work by the team at JETRO (Noriya Tarutani Momoka Ueda Yusuke Kaga Toru Iimura and others). LFG!
