Today I explain how to raise money as a new startup founder in Japan.
I’m going to give you a clear and actionable plan so that:
1) You can decide which VCs you should approach
2) You can set up meetings with partners at reputable Japanese VC firms
3) You how to pitch in the most effective way possible
4) You will have some strategies to help you actually close the round, and get the money in the bank.
And you’ll be able to do it all in a reasonable amount of time without going absolutely crazy
Now, I’ll warn you. Each of these steps is significantly harder than the one before, but you’ll be building up your skills as you move through the process.
Also, as part of my research for this episode, I not only had a lot of conversations, but I also created an informal “Why Meet a Founder” survey and sent it to many of my VC friends in Japan. The survey asked what factors influenced their decisions to meet with a founder and hear their pitch. We’ll talk about the survey a bit during this podcast, and the results available to you as a special bonus download in the show notes on the Disrupting Japan site.
