Synopsis:
Ever dream of a global career but land smack into a financial crisis in a new country, not knowing a word of English? That's the wild ride Ryota Hayashi, Co-founder & CEO of Finatext Holdings, took at the beginning of his journey. But Ryota's story isn't just about weathering storms – it's about emerging stronger with a will powered by optimism.
Ryota's entrepreneurial path has been paved with challenges – from his wife's postpartum depression after the birth of their first child to facing product flops and near two years of zero revenue. But through it all, Ryota's unwavering optimism has kept him going. In his talk, he shares his hard-earned wisdom, the grit it takes to persevere, and maybe even a laugh or two about the absurdities of the startup world.
