Natsumi is the co-founder and CMO of Water Design Japan, which is a hightech startup based in Tokyo. It tackles clogged water pipes through a newly developed nozzle which generates nanobubbles to keep water pipes clean without the need for chemicals.

Many aspects about Natsumi made me interested to talk to her.

Firstly, I was curious to learn about Natsumis story as a young co-founder in the hardware space, because I hardly get to talk to any myself. Secondly, she is one of the still very few female founders in Japan and I hoped to get new insights on that aspect too. And lastly, she has a very atypical upbringing as a Japanese person due to her very international history and  open mindset.
