ABOUT AKINORI KOTO
I work at the intersection of corporate innovation/CVC and creative expression, bridging Japanese enterprises and global ecosystems while creating new possibilities in business and music.Whether I\'m building platforms for long-term transformation, advising founders and corporate executives, or writing songs that reflect our times, I bring a \"Yes, and\" spirit to everything I do.I am a product guy turned venture capitalist. I am passionate about building new businesses through investments, fostering entrepreneurship, and facilitating design thinking and transformation workshops for corporate executives at WiL.Prior to WiL, I managed early-stage investments at Digital Garage, focusing on the social, advertising, and payment sectors. I have worked with Twitter, Path, Udemy, Intercom, and others to accelerate their Japan business, backed by the Digital Garage Tokyo team, and has led over 30 early-stage investments.
