I'll Help With Manufacturing, IoT Development, And Startup Struggles

Kuzuryu here.

I serve as a director at several companies, and I also work with many other companies as an advisor, and occasionally as a hands-on consultant.

I’m also a specially appointed professor (visiting) at Tohoku University, and I teach at Tokyo Institute of Technology, Musashino Art University, and other schools.

I recently published the following book.

The Shape of a Happy IoT Startup

My strength is that, while my roots are as a hardcore engineer (my specialty is electrical circuits), I also have broad knowledge across technology in general, management experience, and hands-on experience building business deals down to the nitty-gritty, and on top of all that I can step back and grasp the essence of things from a bird’s-eye view.

The kinds of consultations I get are roughly these:

• Launching new businesses
• Managing development projects
• Struggles with engineer hiring
• Putting out fires on projects and teams that have gone sideways
• Fundraising tied to technology strategy

That said, I also often get much earlier-stage consultations that haven’t even reached this point, like “I have an idea but I’m not sure how to turn it into a startup.” Honestly, I love these kinds of fresh conversations.

If anything here strikes a chord with you, feel free to reach out using the form below.
