(それにしても84世代って熱いのではないか、と最近思う。1Q84もさることながら、マッキントッシュの誕生した運命の年です。84世代のスター、Mark Zuckerbergを目指したい *facebookのfounder)
 
とりあえず、そこで“しばらくは”英語日記を書いてみてますので、そこのを転用。おそらく後数回で終わると思いますw

 
I joined a venture conference,"Bridge 2009"
http://bridge.weblogs.jp/

More than 100 people related with JP startups and VC came the event.

Thanks for respectable senior friend, Jun Koizum, he introduced me a capitalist who invest Jun'z company. He led more than 2 companies to IPO, and i believe Jun's company would be the next.

We discussed about my plan more than an hour. Main topic was how to step in B2B market as a new player. He concluded it takes time to penetrate new service to the small business market because the small business player doesn't reasonable comparing with establish corporation or individual. On the other hand, he totally supported my business market and way. What the key advice is

1. To make reliable brand
2. To offer overwhelm usability
3. In the primary phase, we should compete in red ocean

The system it's self doesn't matter for the users, like Uniqulo's SPA. They would choose the the supplier just for price, usability, and reliability.

--- What i miss understood was users like to choose just one way"仕様" from wide range of options. But i need to conform the concept. His hypothesis is they wish to choose simply options but they wanna get obvious and profitable experience. For us, he gave us 3 strategies.

1. One price.
The clear price doesn't mean who get how margin. it is just simply price.
2. Simple variation.
3. To make opinion leaders understood that our price is absolutely low price

It was wonderful time, special thanks for Honma san and Jun san and Taniguchi san.
