    Achievements

    Helped Twitter's early stage Japan entry, making Series B investment from DG Incubation and leading first localization of official Twitter sites (web and mobile).  Twitter came to Japan at rather early stage, but it was very successful to beat fake local rivals.

    Also helped LinkedIn's Japan entry to gain Tokyo based global clients, providing full-service office and business network development support at Egg Japan, located at Marunouchi, very core of Tokyo city.

    Completed several LP investments in super Angel funds like SV Angel and 500 Startups, to locate awesome US startups for seed investments. Attended regularly to Y combinator and 500 startups demo days.

    After joining Mitsubishi Estate, became LP investor of Sozo Ventures, Coral Capital, DNX, UTEC, Tokyo University's IPC and so on.
