My time at Global Innovation Conference Hack Osaka was an incredible way to round out the year. Special thanks to my co-panelists - Benjamin C.K. Tee (National University of Singapore), Jordan Fisher (Zehitomo Inc.) and Kathy LIU (Plug and Play Japan) - for the meaningful conversation and Osaka Startup Ecosystem for putting the event together! I'm excited to witness Osaka’s continued progress in becoming a world-class hub city for entrepreneurs and startups. Here’s to 2024! #Investing #VentureCapital #HackOsaka #WovenCapital
