Guest Speaker

Mr. Koichiro Tawa / CEO, Timers Inc.

Timers Inc. raised funds from independent VCs such as GLOBIS Capital Partners and Incubate Fund, as well as CVCs including NTT Docomo and MyNavi. We are offering various kinds of solutions under the brand of "Famm", which expands opportunities for women raising children. During coming class, we will introduce how we evolved into a social problem-solving business that expands women's options in the context of startup management and solution diversification strategies, and the pivot model to you. So that, I hope it would be a good opportunity to help your development of your own entrepreneurship, and to exchange opinions on things like what we realized and the relevance of building a model through repeated failure and the business outline of unconscious bias.
