For every startup, a gentle and gradual growth is not always enough. Although there were difficult times of course, we have survived in the market for about 3 years now and our valuation has consistently trended upwards so far fortunately. But yeah, it’s not enough.
Recently I started to sense that it’s about time for our team to pursue a dramatic growth. When you need to achieve a great result, you have to put in a greater effort than what you have done so far. Plus, it definitely needs a higher goal to be set.
So, today I spoke to our team that we are going to launch our platform in Japan by the end of next January. There are many things to get done when doing business in a different country. The language and cultural difference could be a big obstacle and we may have to rearrange the entire team structure.
I as a team leader need to change dramatically too. Besides being fluent at English to persuade potential global investors and customers, I really have to set a global business mindset.
It’s time for a big leap.
