Summary
As an investor, educator, and consultant specializing in Japan's private markets, I am passionate about empowering global investors and entrepreneurs with the knowledge and tools needed to navigate and succeed in this dynamic landscape. With a focus on angel investing, private equity, real estate, SME mergers & acquisitions and the unique opportunities Japan offers, I provide actionable insights and practical strategies. Fully bilingual in Japanese and English with decades of experience working for financial institutions and law firms in Japan, I gained firsthand experience and a deep understanding of the intricacies involved in the Japanese private market ecosystem. Whether you are an angel investor intrigued by startups in Japan, a seasoned investor looking to diversity your portfolio, a professional seeking to deepen your understanding of private equity and M&A in Japan, or a founder interested in setting up a business in this vibrant market, my courses are tailored to meet your needs. Join me in exploring the business opportunities Japan offers. Follow my journey as I share valuable content, market trends, and strategies that can help you thrive in Japan's financial ecosystem.
