Growth Hub #7 - By Founders, For Founders
Shibuya Startup Support was built to empower foreign entrepreneurs and overseas companies in navigating the Japanese market. SSS Growth Hub is a monthly gathering for a deep dive into the practical realities of venture culture, fundraising, and the entrepreneurial journey in Japan and across borders.
This time we're hosting:
Takuya Goto: Co-founder of Gaudiy (web3 entertainment, raised from investors like JAFCO, MUFG, Sony Music) and CEO of AssetHub (AI for gaming assets). Takuya has experience in raising significant capital, including Series B in Japan and recent Seed funding in the US. He'll share practical strategies for mastering venture fundraising and navigating market differences across global tech landscapes.
Yuko Nakahata: A seasoned serial entrepreneur (involved in 2 successful exits), Yuko is currently challenging herself with a new startup, SustainaSeed Inc. She will share candid insights into the difficulties of self-funded product development and the crucial importance of strategic team building.
This interactive casual discussion will start with pre-prepared questions by Francisco, with ample opportunity for live Q&A. The entire session will be conducted in English. Your questions will also be welcome!
This is a unique opportunity to gain actionable wisdom from founders who've tackled diverse paths to entrepreneurship.
