Venture Capitalist, Senior Vice President at CyberAgent Capital, Inc.
Joined CyberAgent Capital, Inc. in 2012 as a venture capitalist. Covering seed, early stage investments in Japan. Early investor in Kabuku[rinkak], Coursebase, Okan, BEC[Gozal], Laibo[JobQ]. Before joining CAC, I led an internet ad agency to the successful exit as a CEO. So I am also experienced investment and incubation as a venture capitalist prior to serving as CEO of the ad agency. It is my mission to create the bright future working closely together with entrepreneurs. Doing so is not a flat road, rather steep. However, I hope you to choose me as a partner for your venture as I have experienced roles of both venture capitalist and start-up CEO, and am more than happy to share my knowledge, experience, and insight.
