If you are not planning to work at one company for whole life and thinking about finding your ‘own job’, you may have a chance to meet a investor once.

Among so-called investors, corporate investors has rather different color.   

Mr. Yang shared his experience with how company founders and corporate investors come to meet.

The essence of the technology start-up is the ‘technology’ that resolve the needs of customer and market, and create new value through that technology and cultivate such technology as the core competitiveness of its company.   However, he addressed that among many of start-up companies, such technology based start-up companies are less than 10 percent.   

Also, in current market place,  many start-up companies are facing serious obstacles such as; securing the funding source, commercializing its product and  structuring the profitable model, despite that they have outstanding core technologies.
