Ummm language?
It's easy to underestimate communication because it is hard to quantify but when you cannot express the value of a startup clearly or develop deep relationships due to language barriers its going to affect your success.
- fenomas 11y agoThis was my first thought - I can't imagine how someone could feasibly start a company here without being at least somewhat bilingual. I've seen people found and run successful companies with only moderate Japanese ability, but only when they'd already lived here a long time and had lots of contacts. (And folks in that position will have their own opinions about the startup climate...)
