Toshiyuki Yamamoto
Director, TechWorker Inc.
Founder of Chatwork / CEO of Power Angels / Representative Director of the Japan Angel Investors Association
I founded Chatwork, an IT tool, and set out to bring it to non-IT industries. In 2018 I handed the CEO role to my co-founder and younger brother, and the following year, in 2019, the company was listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange Mothers market (with a market cap of over ¥50 billion).
Through that experience, I became certain of one thing. No matter how excellent the technology is, it will never be used inside a company without someone to bridge it to the realities of frontline operations.
The same thing is now happening with generative AI, a new technology. TechWorker will serve as that bridge and drive AI adoption across Japanese enterprises.
