An entrepreneur and business development leader specializing in Go-To-Market (GTM) support for the Japanese market, new business development, and DX promotion for domestic and international startups. I have supported numerous projects across a wide range of sectors—including AI, Web3, entertainment, SaaS, and hardware—assisting foreign companies with their entry into Japan, facilitating business alliances with domestic firms, and leading the planning and execution of marketing strategies.
Currently, at Sekaichi Inc., I oversee the GTM-BPO (Go-To-Market Business Process Outsourcing) business for overseas companies. We provide end-to-end support for the processes required to enter the Japanese market, ranging from market research and sales strategy to partner development, PR/marketing, and sales channel establishment. The companies I have supported to date span a wide range of sectors, including AI, healthcare, IoT, consumer products, and the creator economy, as I work on business development that connects global startups with Japanese corporations.
Additionally, as an investor, I invest in seed and early-stage startups, supporting companies not only in terms of business growth but also in capital policy, overseas expansion, and business strategy. My distinctive approach emphasizes not just the technology itself, but the perspective of "how to implement it into a business and translate it into social value."
In recent years, I have been actively incorporating generative AI and blockchain into practical operations, working on improving operational efficiency, creating new businesses, and promoting organizational DX. In addition to accumulating practical know-how in research, planning, document creation, marketing, and sales support using generative AI such as ChatGPT, I am also involved in digital identity and Web3-related projects utilizing blockchain technology.
In this course, we will not only learn how the technology works, but also focus on the theme of "how to truly utilize AI and blockchain in the field." By incorporating actual business cases and experiences of failure and success, I will provide the knowledge and mindset that participants can put into practice starting tomorrow.
