TRUSTED BY

Investors, partners, and employees

EXPECT you to know the answer to everything….

The

CHALLENGE

People can expect a startup or small business founder to know how to do everything like raise money, choose the right partner, business model, and everything to run smoothly. You can also lose a potential investor, hire, client, or business partner by not knowing “what is expected.”

THE

REALITY

There is not enough time in the day for you to learn things, learn to trial and error, and you just need to do it. Many useful information is in Japanese, but you don’t know how to find it or it takes too long to read and absorb this information.

You need a secret weapon

Someone you can call on when you have a question that needs answering.

So, who can we help?

We want you to be confident
that we're the right choice. 

Making mistakes and losing time is way more costly…. Giving up too much stock, getting in trouble with government agencies, losing the faith of potential and existing investors, having complicated back office processes and structure will lead to wasted time and money.

Then you are definitely the right person for this program. You should probably not be using your time doing research, asking many different people, trading favors unnecessarily and even more reasons to utilize our help. Use our service and spend your time doing more sales, work on your product, or help elevate your employees, you know the things that really make a huge difference in growing your business. A good CEO can use capital to generate even more capital and is focused on value creation, not compliance.

See our list of questions above for some examples you can ask us. We can also have a 15 minute chat to evaluate your situation: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1vHOWufvzjSDfMXBo00VpVFq5tM3QISNOw-n4XBJDjPk/edit
