Supporting game changers who create new angles
Keiji was born in the US, raised in both Japan and the United States.
After being involved in new business development in ad tech at Recruit Co., Ltd., Keiji embarked on a journey around the world to explore ways to solve social issues through business. While active on the ground, he felt the potential of the sharing economy to connect "problems" and "solutions." He then worked in business development at the Silicon Valley-based cloud translation startup, Gengo Inc., while learning about crowdsourcing.
Subsequently, he served as Co-founder/COO at Selan Inc. After being selected for the Google Accelerator Program, he joined the Monex Group.
In 2019, he founded Angle Inc. to solve social issues through business. As the first initiative, the MentorMe service was leased in 2021. Since its release, it has provided extensive support to a wide range of individuals, including socially entrepreneurial award winners from listed companies and the Dalai Lama. As the second initiative of Angle, the environmental protection project, Angle Planet, was launched in 2023.
