American startups dominate this innovation cycle not as a result of startup innovation, but of enterprise innovation.
Today we sit down with Dai Watanabe and dive into the dynamics of industry disruption and startup innovation. For the last 25 years Dai has held leadership roles at the center of Japan's major innovation trends. From the glory days of Japan's mobile internet, to the utter disruption unleashed by the iPhone, to today's doubling down on startup innovation.
We talk about what's in store for the future of Japanese startups, and why opportunities in innovation are never quite what they seem at first.
It's a great conversation, and I think you'll enjoy it.
