Japanese startups is hot right now, and more and more foreign money is flowing in.
But many Japanese VCs remain stubbornly outward-looking.
Today we sit down with Shri Dodani, who after a series of highly successful American startups, decided that Japan is the best place to invest right now, and co-founded of Global Hands-On VC, to make those investments.
We talk about the unique advantages startups have in Japan and why Japanese founders often have trouble leveraging those advantages.
It's a great conversation, and I think you'll enjoy it.
