It was a fun and rough ride wearing all kinds of hats &#8211; corp dev, biz dev, user dev, product dev, marketing, user support, operation &#8211; pretty much anything other than engineering. Later I even assumed responsibility for marketing in Japan as well.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Even before<\/span>: I was an M&amp;A\u00a0advisory\u00a0for tech startups. What that means is that I helped small startups with strong underlying technology to get acquired by bigger companies as means for further growth. That surely helped founders and VCs financially as well.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Past life<\/span>:\u00a0I was as a management consultant for Fortune 500 companies \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n<p>I started blogging in 2006 with a purpose of helping entrepreneurs and startups in my home country Japan.
