Jun Misaki

He visited Silicon Valley through the EDGE (Enhancing Development of Global Entrepreneur) program sponsored by Japan MEXT, in his undergraduate days.

At Accenture, he spent the first half of his career in system development, and the second half in new business development and UX design using service design methods. While working on his day job, he participated in many hackathons and startup support programs, winning several prizes.

In January 2021, he left the company and founded Pit-Step Inc., and was selected for the "SIDO Next Innovator" acceleration program sponsored by Japan METI and WiL (Global VC).

As a web3 startup, he is developing a brand-new NFT marketplace "KOTOVERSE" where creators sell digital novels for super-fans! This project was accepted by the acceleration program by techstars with JETRO.

I really wanna realize a "uniVERSE" where creators around the world express their works (cover illustrations/audio-book/manga etc...) starting from "KOTOBA" (means words in Japanese) written by a single author.
