A Skateboarder’s Guide to Entrepreneurship
Synopsis:
Aaron Mollin, Founder & CEO, Ichijiku Inc. & IPDefine Ltd, is a guy who's as comfortable dropping into a half-cab heelflip as he is, dropping legal knowledge. Aaron spent his childhood skateboarding and nearly 20 years living and breathing Japan - and yes, his Japanese is fluent, folks! He even ran a bar in Kyoto after graduation!
Aaron ditched the law books to take a wild ride with Ichijiku, a sustainable hyper-luxury fashion brand he founded that uses vintage silk kimonos to create one-of-a-kind masterpieces (and requires a $1000 deposit just to reserve a piece). But Aaron's got more than just fashion sense.
He's now leading IPDefine, a company with groundbreaking AI – the world's first patent infringement discovery AI, no less! In his talk, Aaron drops some gnarly wisdom on navigating the entrepreneurial journey.
