Growth Hub is our monthly gathering for an open exchange on the realities of building and scaling ventures in Japan.
Most early-stage founders can describe their product in detail. But ask about their margins, their burn, or what their balance sheet actually says... and the room goes quiet.
To address this comes guest Maurizio Raffone, Fractional CFO with 25+ years in tech companies across capital markets, structured finance, and venture capital in Asia.
This session will be run using the Socratic method: participants will receive a reference sheet on arrival and work through real concepts applied to their own businesses. Be sure to prepare your questions!
