Pi Photonics, Inc.｜COMPANY

I thought the Graduate School for the Creation of New Photonics Industries (GPI) was and still is the best place to realize my long holing dream, “starting the business of my own research and development” which I have in my mind after graduating university, so that I enrolled at the GPI. Before enrollment of the GPI, I was researching and developing of the three-dimensional display, measurement and processing with optical technology called holography. Since founding my own company (changing my situation from employee to employer/company founder), I have learned many skills by experience, such as company management, technological development, manufacturing control, advertisement and sales, fund raising, tax accounting, contract documents, general affair and so on. Everything I have gone through with many people I have met has made me who I am now. It will be my privilege to be of any service to create and offer the optical technological products mainly using holographic technology.

Teachings of my own bussiness lesson.

Founding a company is equivalent to having children
Change Nine-to-five attitude
Trust myself
Sometimes forget about a pride and be a fool
Have a dream, philosophy and someone or something worth protecting
