The startup Ecosystem in the MidWest USA was always out of the loop for many international founders and US founders. When you think of starting a startup you think first of Silicon Valley as a dreamland of opportunities. There are so many other great ecosystems across the US for founders to consider especially after the pandemic. This is why we invited Jason Jacobsohn, the Managing Partner of Propellant Ventures based in Chicago.

Government stimulus, preferences for international founders? Visa? Incorporation? - How to get a grant or early funding in MidWest? - What are the downsides of the MidWest ecosystem for international and US startups? - What about being a foreigner in MidWest? Key benefits and challenges? - What first steps a founder should do first to soft-land in MidWest? - Can you open a company remotely and a bank account remotely? - Taxes, costs for companies and individuals? - How being in the MidWest ecosystem helps you reach the US market and get US VC funding About the speaker: For 20+ years, Jason has been an advocate for entrepreneurs by connecting them to growth resources such as investors, advisors, and strategic partners. He is the Founder and Managing Partner of Propellant Venture, which is a seed-stage fund that invests in the growth of Chicago and the greater Midwest across a broad range of powerful, diverse, and leading-edge B2B industries.

SaaS start-ups often make massive investments in time & resources to get their product innovation going. The reason could be that most founders come from a technology background and tend to be very product-centric. While they need to focus on product-market fit and build a competitive moat, they need to also strategize their 'go to market' to be able to get their initial customers and scale up rapidly with the product-market fit getting established. Given that competition often can replicate product features quite quickly as the only constraint is capital, what they would struggle to replicate is a unique 'go to market strategy. In this podcast, we will discuss establishing 'product market fit' and developing game-changing 'go to market' strategies at an early stage to build and grow your SaaS business and stay ahead of the competition.

For decades Japan has been known as an industrial powerhouse, but also an economy that’s relatively closed to international talent. That’s beginning to change as the government rolls out the welcome mat in an effort to boost local startups. In Japan, startups, venture capital and universities, along with major companies, banks and other investors, are channeling more resources into innovative new drivers of the economy. Startup ecosystems are beginning to play a central role in this transformation. Approximately $4 billion was allocated to Japanese startups in 2019, five times the sum in 2010, according to INITIAL, a Tokyo-based startup information platform. This reflects a long-term trend in venture capital flows, which have nearly returned to the levels prior to the 2007-2008 global financial crisis as Japanese brands have channeled funds to startup companies. Tokyo's startup ecosystem has continuously been expanding because of the digitalization in various industries even amidst COVID-19. Tokyo launched the "Tokyo Consortium” in 2020 with 220+ VCs, leading companies and universities etc, to enter the new era together with startups. To discuss what is Japan Startup Ecosystem is like for international founders and the latest development in Japan, we invited Yuki Shirato to give us the most important details to know. Yiki is the Managing Partner of www.yakumi.co as well as Corporate Attorney, Angel Investor, Startup Enthusiast based in Japan who live in many countries. Main questions we discussed: What Japan became tech ecosystem? Trends in local startups and the VC ecosystem? What startups should go to Japan? Investment ecosystem for startups? Corporation ecosystem for a startup for potential pilots? What are the benefits of starting a startup from Japan for international founders? Government stimulus, preferences for international founders? Visa? Incorporation? How to get a grant or early funding in Japan? What are the downsides of the Japan ecosystem for international startups? What about being a foreigner in Japan? Key benefits and challenges? What first steps a founder should do first to soft-land in Japan? Can you open a company remotely and bank account remotely? Taxes, costs for companies and individuals? How being in the Japan ecosystem helps you reach the US market and get US VC funding Join this channel to get access to perks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UColq7QFvaAWuwz8z0PojFPA/join ------------------------------------------------- Become a member of the closed network of Go Global World, fill in your profile to be in touch with global investors and startups: https://www.goglobal.world/account/my-account Join our Global Chats: https://linktr.ee/GoGlobalWorld Learn more at www.goglobal.world #StartupEcosystem #JapanStartupEcosystem #JapaneesInvestors
