Japanese Startups, This Must Change Now!

Overall trends are going pretty well for startups in Japan, but things could be a lot better. One strange thing seems to be that almost everyone asking how to improve things for startup in Japan are either government officials, academics or venture capitalists. It's fantastic that they are interested, and their interest in sincere, but there is only so much they can do. The real change will have to come from Japan's startup community itself. In this episode I list three simple things that we founders in Japan all need to start doing right now. So let's have a chat and I'll explain how, as a group, we have the power to change the Japanese economy and social structure in a very positive way. Perhaps unpredictable ways, but positive ways nonetheless.
