#06 Suzu Kitamura: Japan's unique startup exit market

Suzu is a rising talent in Japan’s Venture space with her role as managing partner at the Venture Capital firm Goto Ventures and her work at Guidy.

Today, I want to focus on her story of how she found her way into the Venture Capital space being in her early twenties and what the current state of startup exits is like in Japan. I also wanted to learn about how she got into the startup ecosystem and hope that it can serve as an inspiration for other soon-to-be university graduates in Japan.

Thanks for listening in and please enjoy my conversation with Suzu!
