Howard Steinberg, Mentor - JETRO Innovation Program (JIP) - Duration: 2:46.

My name is Howard Steinberg. I'm an independent consultant and one of my clients is USMAC.

The companies I've worked with in my tenure in the high tech space have included

Saatchi and Saatchi, Ask Jeeves, later ask.com, Ticketmaster,

Trip Advisor, Expedia, City Search, Urban Spoon, The Daily Beast, and Evite.

In my background, I believe I'm a strong mentor based upon the experience

that I've had in a number of different disciplines with a varied clientele, from travel to news to social networking.

What I've enjoyed most in my role as a mentor is the ability to work with hungry entrepreneurs,

folks that really are devoted to their business, and in the five years I've been with USMAC

I've continued to be energized by the passion, the strength, the discussion,

the discourse that I have with these different entrepreneurs.

And I've had the additional benefit of working with folks from all across the globe at this point,

including countries like Japan, Korea, France, the U.K., Ireland, and Poland.

In my experience working with Japanese startups, including KISSonix,

I've noticed a great hunger, a great level of intelligence and drive and motivation.

A lot of folks will look at the home country being back in Japan and say,

how do I break into the U.S. market? What's unique about being in the Bay Area?

And if I can bring even a taste of what it means to have some success here,

what it means to have the drive here, how a partnership might evolve,

I can bring that knowledge and share that, which hopefully means a lot for the Japanese companies

that I've worked with.

I'm most excited when I'm working with a startup around just the energy,

just the spirit, the belief in the product, the drive, the zeal.

That energizes me as well.

To me I love to get up on a daily basis and work with these companies,

understanding that we can turn an idea into a viable business.

So for companies seeking to enter the U.S. market from Japan,

my advice would be to come with an open mind, to have an idea of what you hope to achieve,

and to do some homework in advance, to really prep yourself,

to come with questions, to have some ideas of who you'd like to partner with and why.

Those companies that I've work with in the past that have that preparation

and have done that homework in advance really have the best chance I believe to succeed.

My recommendation would be to be patient,

whereas something that might be in the Japanese market may be happening quicker,

you might have the ability just to hold a casual conversation,

I'd say here in the states, and nothing happens immediately,

nothing happens in a bubble. Many things are interrelated.

So my advice there on understanding those differences is just to come with an open mind.

I've really enjoyed the experience.

I've had the opportunity to work with about fifteen different companies, all startups.

I very much look forward to the opportunity to interact with entrepreneurs across the globe going forward.
