Description

You don’t have to seek funding from angel investors or VCs to get your company off the ground in Japan. In fact, you might not need to raise any money at all. There are plenty of successful startups that have bootstrapped their way to success – but how did they do it?

On October 19, join us for the online talk with a tech startup solo founder Philippe Khin who will share his journey of bootstrapping his way from side hustle to successfully fundraise the first seed round, while making his way to get the Japanese Permanent Residency.

📍Key points

  • From side project to incorporated (+ quest to the Japanese Permanent Residency)
  • How to stay organized as a tech startup solo founder
  • Fundraising when you don’t have a team
  • Beyond the one-man show

📍About Philippe:

Born in Cambodia and grew up in France, he started his career in tech in Japan from 2017. Working as a software engineer within a corporate wasn’t enough to satisfy his thirst to become a better programmer, he has built solo on the side SewaYou, a location-based language exchange app to help people overcome the language barrier in Japan and ended up turning it into a company in 2022.
Languages, products, audiobooks and music enthusiast.
