Over the past three decades, Japan has been trapped in a state of stagnation. But what have we been doing during this time? For me, I’ve made it my mission to disrupt this stillness, to act as a catalyst for change. As a serial entrepreneur, I’ve been tossing proverbial stones into the tranquil pond of Japan’s economy, creating ripples that have led to transformation and growth.
I don’t expect my efforts alone to revitalize a stagnating Japan. However, I believe in the power of “throwing stones” to inspire others to take action. As someone who experienced Japan’s golden era, I consider it my duty to keep challenging the status quo for the excitement it brings and the future of the next generation.
Together, let’s keep throwing stones at a stagnating Japan, igniting innovation and fueling the dreams of the generations to come.
Founders Peak Tokyo is a global pitch stage inspired by TED Talks. Outstanding startup founders from around the world gather to present their own founding stories.
The Singapore Fintech Festival is a large-scale global event sponsored by the Monetary Authority of Singapore with the aim of hosting the largest Fintech event in the Asian region. It has been held every year since 2016, with this year marking the 8th event.
