Thank you Darren Menabney and Fast Company for featuring my POV! Japan’s Digital Nomad Visa and its growing startup scene are opening up amazing opportunities, and I was very happy to share some of my thoughts in this article. As I mentioned in the article: “If you’re going to start a business here, you must have some connection.” I highly recommend building meaningful connections, as it has been key to my journey and is essential for anyone starting in Japan’s startup world. In Japan, connections are everything when starting a business. Building trust, understanding cultural nuances, and integrating into the local ecosystem are essential for success. My career with Openfor.co, Inc., Founder Institute Japan, and soon Co-Capital.co is proof of this—connections have been key to my journey and to helping entrepreneurs thrive in Japan’s startup world. I’m truly grateful to have helped hundreds of entrepreneurs, which has resulted in building a portfolio of 44 companies. If you’re passionate about entrepreneurship or curious about Japan’s startup scene, I’d love to connect! Feel free to reach out or connect with me on LinkedIn. Let’s build something amazing together!
