According to The Australian Financial Review, when Akiko Naka abandoned her job as a manga artist in her mid-20s to launch an online job seeking portal, she was one of Japan’s youngest entrepreneurs.
It was 2011, and she was also one of the few women leading a company that would go on to list on the Tokyo Stock Exchange. Her company, Wantedly, now has a market capitalisation of almost $190 million and more than 3.5 million users. Naka, 38, jokes she is old compared with the new wave of start-up founders building innovative companies from their tiny Tokyo apartments. https://www.afr.com/world/asia/meet-the-tech-leaders-shaking-up-japan-20230504-p5d5n7
