FreeDriving Global Opportunities for Startups
To build startup success outside your own borders your startup story strategy has to have diversity and cultural understanding.
Some of the greatest startup success stories in history happened through leveraging international opportunities through diversity and understanding the differences between countries, cultures, and languages. But how do you best leverage that opportunity? What are the challenges that international founders face? How can you solve these challenges?
Founders Network will be having a collaborative Clubhouse event with our Virtual, Vancouver and Tokyo chapters. During this event they will be sharing what they’ve learned along the way to help you start a business or grow your existing one into the global marketplace by effectively communicating and adapting through a “cultural lens”.
Moderators:
Chai is the co-founder of Deeprisk.ai and the Chapter Director of fnVirtual Chapter. Chai holds an MBA and has been doing heartfulness meditation for 12 years.
Caven is the founder of SIVENTH and the Chapter Director of fnTokyo Chapter. While Caven has a full-stack background my most recent roles include marketing, project management, technical consultant, and of course developer.
