Through Venture Republic and MIT-Japan, I gained incredibly useful experience in both the tech and finance worlds, learning both iOS development and about VC investments. I gained a more international viewpoint, and sharpened my communication skills in both Japanese and English.
Venture Republic runs the travel meta-search web engines travel.jp and hotel.jp, and is also a venture capital firm investing in travel-related start-ups. While interning here, I researched blockchain, produced accounting tools, and developed an app to submit and view feedback on company events. I also helped produce growth data visualizations for a funded start-up’s pitch which won the pitch competition at the Web in Travel Japan and North Asia 2018 conference.
