Pierre told us “Many people understand how to get private equity funding, but for many, it will be a first to hear how to get a conservative 115 year old Japanese, or any foreign company for that matter, to hand over millions of dollars to a non domestic business unit to try to create a new business with a technology that didn’t exist while being a total departure from it’s core business”.
A longer interview with Pierre on his subject will also feature prominently in DOOH Insights Volume Two: The Best of 2013 [2] due for publication in early October.
