Writing

I am a startup founder in San Francisco originally from Japan.

I've been thinking of writing for a long time, at least for 5 to 6 years by now. I never took it seriously enough to actually started writing. Finally, I decided to do so today because of a call I just had.

This afternoon, my co-founder and I got on a phone with a great engineer for a potential hire. My co-founder has been wanting to work with him for sometime. I immediately liked him. I felt that he not only had foundational deep math skill that is required for the job, but also he was at the right moment in his career and looking at the same direction that our company was headed to. While my co-founder and he were exchanging information clearly and concisely, I felt handicapped not being able to communicate the information I wanted to pass on to him. The call went great and we will be hiring very soon. However, as my company grow, I am realizing that I really need to work on my skill to communicate effectively ane efficiently.

This blog is my attempt to get there. English is not my first langauage and I will never get to be a smooth talking American sales person. But with prcactice, I should be able to get to ok or at leave above the average level.

I will mostly write about my learning as a founder in AI segment somewhere in California. I hear it's good to write to somebody who I know personally. I will be mostly writing to Dave, Nobu, and Jun depending on the subject.
