Founding a web-centered company in Japan as a gaijin

As many people reading this blog, I am very passionate about the Internet, both from a technological and from an economic perspective. It was clear to me for a long time to turn this passion into a profession and that time has come ;).

Founding a web-centered company in Tokyo
As a person with a clear business background (after getting my MBA in Germany, I currently am in the process of becoming a PhD in business administration), I will try my best to promote and ultimately sell Japanese web technology and services to the world.

There are many, many web software products, services and companies in Japan ready for conquering Western markets. Japan is in my eyes a country totally underrated in the Internet world - however, the potential to be a top player does exist.

The company which is currently in the process of incorporating is aimed at exposing Japan's web industry to the world - just like Tokyotronic and Asiajin proactively do for quite some time now.

However, the company's focus will likely be broadened in time to cover more possibilities to bridge the gap between Japan and the rest of the web world. My two Japanese co-founders are as bullish as I am - I have no doubts we can make a substantial difference, even as a startup!

The future
I will keep the Tokyotronic readers up-to-date with any news that I hope are interesting in the incorporation process of the new company. There will be no photos of "our new IKEA office shelves-look!", no boring alibi stories or copy/paste stlye press releases - promised.

Tokyotronic will be turned into the official company blog at a later time. However, providing my readers with substantial news about the Japanese IT/web scene will remain the prior purpose of this blog!

Very good idea! I am thirsty for news about Japanese Web industries in English. It has been very limited so far. Please advise if anyone has any other online network sources except this blog or Asiajin.
Wishing you all the best and looking forward to hearing more about your new project!

I think you have caught on to the positive sentiment that a lot of us in the Japanese web industry have right now. It is exciting to be here as things are starting to gain momentum. Best of luck!
