We had a great conversation with Tim Romero.  Tim is a long time Tokyo hand whose first introduction to Japan was after signing a record deal for his band.  While this did not last long, Tim went back to Los Angeles, worked for a Software company that sent him back to Tokyo and after working in the IT department at a global financial firm, he got bitten by the startup bug.  Tim now writes on entrepreneurship, podcasts about startups and advises foreign companies on how to enter the market in Japan.  Tim also runs an interesting podcast of his own called ‘Disrupting Japan’.
