Note to Japanese Entrepreneurs
The Effect
• Too focused on Silicon Valley
• Success is not because you move your company to Silicon Valley or you get
funded by Silicon Valley
• Winning awards means nothing if you cannot generate revenues
• Success is due to a disruptive solution that enables a mass market adoption
• Go where the market is big (Silicon Valley is not always the only answer)
• Don’t lead with Technology
• Lead with mature use case combined with solid distribution strategy
