A Night of Business Insights in Shibuya
On July 28, 2025, KOBUSHI MARKETING LLC in Shibuya, Tokyo, is set to host a unique roundtable event at the "KOBUSHI BEER LOUNGE & BAR." This gathering, starting at 19:30, will bring together dynamic business leaders to share their real experiences with IPOs, exits, and capital strategies—all while enjoying the local craft beer.
The event is spearheaded by two notable figures: Akira Maruyama of Omega Capital and Shiori Kamesaka of CenternationaL. They aim to create an environment where participants can candidly discuss their challenges and learn from the candid stories of those who have successfully navigated exits or investments.
In a relaxed atmosphere, attendees can expect to hear firsthand accounts of the decision-making processes that come with authority roles, including insights that often remain unspoken in typical business settings. This is a fantastic opportunity for business owners wrestling with their capital strategies to gain clarity, minimizing stock dilution and gaining fresh perspectives on shareholder composition, stock options design, and IR tones.
Why Attend?
The roundtable will focus on real-life scenarios and the gritty details of what it takes to make successful business moves. Participants will engage in discussions that are otherwise unavailable from boutique financial advisors or venture capitalists. You'll have the chance to absorb practical insights directly from those who've faced similar challenges, helping participants navigate the nuances of managing businesses without external CFOs or auditors.
Our event at KOBUSHI BEER is designed not just as a discussion session but also as a networking potluck. We understand that creating connections is pivotal in the business realm; hence, we’ll facilitate matchmaking among attendees whenever possible. Whether you’re a seasoned entrepreneur or someone looking to understand the market better, the KOBUSHI community awaits your presence.
