What is ideation for a serial entrepreneur? - By Yuki Mochizuki, CEO of Xvolve, Inc.

For some of us, finding business ideas is a struggle. And for some others, they go on and launch several companies from all the ideas they get. How does a serial entrepreneur view the ideation process? How does he judge whether one business has potential, and the other one will fail? How do entrepreneurs validate their ideas?

For this ApéroTalk, we're happy to welcome Yuki Mochizuki, who recently came back to Japan after some time in San Francisco, and who will share his views on and around the whole ideation process.

ApéroTalk is our events series based on a very simple (and very French) concept: Apéro and Talk.

Agenda

• 7:00 pm - Door opens
