Japanese Startups: Face Troubles and Counseling Services

japanese startups: Consequently, some may end up developing a mental illness, affecting their career. ; With more investment pouring into Japanese startups in recent years, it's possible that more entrepreneurs may be plagued by such an issue, according to The Japan Times. Being an entrepreneur, you are putting yourself in quite a tough situation, said Mari Sakuramoto, who heads Cotree Inc., a Tokyo-based startup that provides online counseling services. But their lives can be rough, as they are more likely to face troubles than leaders in other fields. Entrepreneurs shoulder pressure to grow their business, take care of their employees and make high returns for investors, but oftentimes many don't have people to share their weaknesses with because of their role as a leader. This is why Sakuramoto launched a counseling service called Escort, which is designed to take care of entrepreneurs' mental health. It's natural that you have a greater risk of developing a mental illness but it seems a lot of people are unaware of that. (news.financializer.com). As reported in the news.
