A heartfelt thank you to Mihoko Manabe for leading today’s Shizen Capital Workshop. Mihoko counts an extensive career at Moody’s, first as financial analyst in New York and later as Head of Moody’s Japan Corporate Finance as well Board Director. She leveraged her expertise to advise the Shizen portfolio companies on basic financial management in a startup without the need for a full-time CFO.

The Shizen Capital workshop series encompasses seminars and pragmatic training sessions led by external experts for early-stage startups in Japan. The workshops are free for all Shizen Capital portfolio companies.
