Shinichi Takatori What

A platform for global entrepreneurial wisdom. An initiative designed to celebrate Founders, their journey, and experiences - a cathartic experience in which speakers have the opportunity to share a purposeful story with the world and one that we hope will inspire the next wave of entrepreneurs, leaders and society at large.
