Founded Origami at 27!

Origami, the smartphone app founded by Yoshiki Yasui, brings the world of impulse buying online, allowing users to discover great products even without a specific purpose. It has garnered attention from various brands and shops since its launch.

Yasui was born in Toronto, grew up in New York until the age of 10, launched an e-commerce business at 16, studied at Waseda University and the University of Sydney, and began investing at 19 while still a student. After graduating, he worked as an M&A advisor at Lehman Brothers. He then moved on to invest in startups at the Silicon Valley venture capital firm DCM, showcasing a truly global career. As he gained experience, he felt a desire for more businesses to grow from Japan to the world, leading him to found Origami at the age of 26.

What Yoshiki Yasui Values as CEO

To turn passion into a career, work 24 hours a day, spend money on what you love, and revolutionize payments worldwide! As CEO, Yasui emphasizes "the power to lead people," "the power to attract capital," and "the power to drive significant projects."

We hope you will have the opportunity to connect with Yasui at THINK, a man who possesses the ability to accurately read macro trends and ride the big waves of business, the talent to identify exceptional individuals, and the skill to build strong teams.

Origami, originally a single square piece of paper, began with the founder's vision. Through the efforts of those who gathered, it can transform into any shape, evolving into a magnificent work of art.
