I'm the Founder and CEO of messaliberty which is a web application development company based in Osaka Japan. messaliberty is providing an event information platform messa.in, a co-working space TechSpace, a regular meetup OpenCoffee Osaka and more. I'm blogging here mainly about technology and startups, doing consulting for international companies in Japan and foreign companies seeking to promote their products in Japan, and of course building apps. Currently I'm working on hulor.com. More about me here.
Osaka is the second largest city of Japan but to be honest, it’s not the best place to start a start-up. Why?
The reason is quite simple. Osaka have not many universities in the central part of the city. I feel it every times when I work with companies in Kyoto or Tokyo.
