Companies are effective systems that greatly improve the lives of many people, and among them, I think startups are particularly attractive because they aim for explosive innovation rather than gradual improvement. Since they have to make big changes in a short period of time, startups have no choice but to make bold attempts that go beyond conventional wisdom. Sometimes, they have to solve problems in a way that is new to them, despite the opposition of those close to them, which makes this work even more difficult.
I want to be a great partner to our generation of founders who will create innovation in the future. As a startup team, I directly solved problems and as a consultant, I looked for ways to reduce trial and error, and now I want to find ways to contribute as an investor. If there is something I have to do, I will continue to think about how to do it much better than before through bold attempts, and if there is something I shouldn't do, I will step back so as not to get in the way. I believe that the startups we invested in can ultimately create innovation, and I will accompany them through the long and difficult journey.
