Founder, Atsushi Hisatsumi

Entrepreneur and investor | Based in Japan and Dubai

Beyond PATRON, founder Atsushi Hisatsumi has assisted crypto startups targeting the Japanese market with press releases, community building in Japan, lead generation support, and fundraising through large-scale token sales (ICO, IEO, IDO, Launchpad, etc.) at the pre-seed or MVP stage.

Founder's Mission

Founder mission is to be the first Japanese startup to raise the Japanese flag ("Hinomaru") in Silicon Valley, the mecca of global technology. Like YouTube, Instagram, WhatsApp, Snapchat and Uber, our exit plan is for Japanese entrepreneurs to be needed by giant technology companies, including the Magnificent Seven. Being needed means being acquired, and being acquired means that a Japanese startup has been recognized at the center of the world. Although I have lost this challenge so far, achieving it means Japanese startups will be recognized on the world's highest stage. This is my mission as a founder and the meaning of my life.
