I\u2019m Shuta and I\u2019m from Japan. I\u2019m the <a href=\"https:\/\/maccelerator.la\/en\/blog\/leadership\/can-a-founder-become-ceo\/\">founder<\/a> and CEO of the Japanese <a href=\"https:\/\/maccelerator.la\/en\/blog\/go-to-market\/programmatic-advertising-the-secret-weapon-your-startup-isnt-using-but-should-be\/\">startup<\/a> called <a href=\"https:\/\/en.appa.pe\/?utm_source=article&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_campaign=ma&amp;utm_content=biz\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow external noreferrer\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">Fuller<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We provide mobile app analytics for app developers. We are number one share company in Japan. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And right now I\u2019m planning to expand our <a href=\"https:\/\/maccelerator.la\/en\/blog\/startups\/everything-weve-been-taught-about-business-is-wrong-a-new-perspective-on-success\/\">business<\/a> in the United States.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 2016 I got selected as one of the members of Forbes magazine in 30 under 30. I started my company 7 years ago and now we have more than a hundred staff members in Japan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I was looking for lots of <a href=\"https:\/\/maccelerator.la\/en\/blog\/startups\/how-to-choose-the-ideal-online-accelerator-or-startup-program-in-the-usa\/\">accelerator<\/a> programs based like in San Francisco, Portland, here in LA and I think <a href=\"https:\/\/maccelerator.la\/en\/blog\/sports\/blog-sports-tech-company-expand-los-angeles-decision-framework\/\">Los Angeles<\/a> is really good for us to enter this market. I could find some good friends here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I think it\u2019s really good for global <a href=\"https:\/\/maccelerator.la\/en\/blog\/go-to-market\/understanding-price-elasticity-a-key-tool-for-entrepreneurs\/\">entrepreneurs<\/a> to take this kind of program because of course expanding is always harder because there are lots of barriers and obstacles, like language barriers of course and culture and business culture differences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During this program, I could get lots of, you know, experiences and knowledge from lessons and also from friends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>M Accelerator <a href=\"\/?page_id=4600\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\">program<\/a> is very good for every <a href=\"\/?page_id=2777\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\">global entrepreneur<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For us it\u2019s very important to understand clients&#8217; insights. I think that this is not just like localization but this is, like, one more, second stage of our startup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I think M Accelerator is very good for global entrepreneurs, any global <a href=\"https:\/\/maccelerator.la\/en\/blog\/sports\/the-winning-playbook-how-liv-cooke-transformed-from-athlete-to-entrepreneur\/\">entrepreneur<\/a>, there are lots of variety of people from different countries like someone is from Europe and someone is from Africa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yeah it was a really exciting experience for me!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Few weeks ago we had the pleasure to record a quick chat with Shuta, participant at M Accelerator with Fuller, a growth-stage startup.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[547,530],"tags":[739,737,735,738,736,56,740],"class_list":["post-4723","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-alumni-spotlight","category-news-2","tag-chat","tag-gotomarket","tag-growth-stage","tag-interview","tag-japan","tag-startup","tag-video"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/maccelerator.la\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4723","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/maccelerator.la\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/maccelerator.la\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/maccelerator.la\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/maccelerator.la\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4723"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/maccelerator.la\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4723\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/maccelerator.la\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4723"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/maccelerator.la\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4723"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/maccelerator.la\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4723"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
