What would one answer when asked to sum up Kristopher Tate's life in a simple equation?
It should be 20 - 5 = 2, we say.
At the age of 20, Kristopher Tate has accomplished what hardly any of his generation had yet to do - accumulate a total of 15 years of coding experience since having started at the age of 5, and create 2 companies. Not only is he known for single-handedly going against Flickr!Yahoo Inc. scale-wise with Zooomr, one of the two companies he created; he is also widely recognized for jump-starting Japan's Web industry with his other company, BlueBridge. Thus it is no wonder he is called what he's called - Tokyo's youngest entrepreneur.
And now, the Waseda Business Association brings you the opportunity to listen from the legend himself. Kristopher Tate will be coming to Waseda, and he'll be sharing with us his experiences throughout his life - how he started coding, what barriers he had to face, and how his two companies, Zooomr and BlueBridge, came about.
The event will also aim to focus on allowing for a longer Q&A session so that participants would have the chance to raise questions they'd like to ask. Please note that, however, due to time constraints there may be a possibility that not all questions can be entertained.
Should you have any questions regarding this event, please feel free to drop us an email at inquiries@wasedabusiness.org.
We hope to see you there.
