[Closed Session] Zero to Global: Business Visions from Entrepreneurs Who Took on the World on Day One
Turning Japan's "Standard" into the world's competitive advantage.
In this session, we feature entrepreneurs who set their sights on the global market from day one and took on the challenge.
Hiroki Koga of Oishii Farm, who launched premium strawberries in New York and successfully raised 20 billion yen. Ayumi Chikamoto of ICHIGO, who delivers Japanese snack subscriptions to 180 countries worldwide and surpassed 4 billion yen in annual revenue. Kiyotaka Kobayashi of Noxx, who sold his mobile advertising business to KDDI in Japan and then launched an AI recruitment startup in Silicon Valley. And Satoru Naito of Anyplace, who operates a hotel rental service across 70 cities in 23 countries in the US.
Why did they aim for the world from the very beginning? How did they differentiate Japanese technology and culture on the global stage? What were their actual experiences with fundraising and team building? And how did they achieve their current success through numerous failures and pivots?
Through candid discussions about their entrepreneurial journeys, global expansion strategies, and lessons learned from failures, these four entrepreneurs will share practical insights for the next generation of entrepreneurs to realize "global from day one."
