About Ikkai and Thomas Pouplin

Looking for someone to distribute flyers or walk your dog? Ikkai is a crowdsourcing platform where individuals and companies can outsource one-time jobs or tasks for university students to complete. Launched 2 years ago from the Japan tech city of Fukuoka, Ikkai is currently handling 20 million Yens worth of small gigs every month, and just secured its seed funding.

Graduated from one of the top French business school and with a background in due diligence, Thomas landed in Japan two years ago to launch Ikkai. Most notably, he became the very first foreigner to benefit from the entrepreneur visa provided by the city of Fukuoka.
