STARTUP CAFE
The paradox between age and the running businesses
“Young” entrepreneurs are hot now.
Some entrepreneurs founded their own company whilst still in school, raised funds, put the companies on track, then get acquired as their exit strategy later in Japan, too.
It’s not rare that high school students establishe companies these days.
It is often said that experience is in proportion to the success rate of business.
In this session, we ask young entrepreneurs whether being young would affect running business paradoxically.
The ambitious students and supporters of their startups, please attend this session.
・The reason why they founded their own companies
・The advantages for young entrepreneurs
・The disadvantages for young entrepreneurs
・Advice for young people who are going to start their own businesses.
