Japan startup gets bank money as entrepreneurship grows

It's great to hear Japanese banks are willing to back this startup, but does JT have stories of Japanese entrepreneurs and their startups?

Tucked in a shabby alley of Shibuya, Japan’s Silicon Valley, is a startup that’s done the almost impossible: win funding from the country’s notoriously conservative banks.

One start-up getting some money is hardly a reason to start shouting about Japan's budding entrepreneurship. More start-ups than that get venture capital every day in the U.S. Especially since the entrepreneurs they talk about in the article are ex-pats.

Moneytree is to be applauded but there just aren't enough examples of this in Japan ( notice how the article has very little other content) so Japan will never produce a high tech area like Silicon Valley.....

Better late than never. Hopefully more Japanese owned & lauched start-ups can jump on the funding bandwagon. Good luck!

Cool! But other way around is use Kickstarter and indiegogo.
