Synopsis:
The Japan Pivot Podcast explores how Japan is changing—and why global attention is returning. Shifts in markets, business practices, policy, and technology are creating new momentum, opening opportunities for innovation and long-untapped potential. Through conversations with leaders and innovators, the series examines why the world is pivoting toward Japan, and how Japan is engaging more directly with the world.
In this episode, host Takumi Ishigami speaks with Mark Makdad, Moneytree Co-Founder and CTO shares hard-won lessons from building and scaling Moneytree in Japan—covering early product-market fit, earning customer trust, raising capital across domestic and foreign investors, and why credibility and community matter as much as funding in Japan’s fintech ecosystem.
