About
The idea behind the name “KongMing”
Inspired by Zhuge Kongming, the strategist in the Three Kingdoms era, we aim to be a partner who reads ahead, makes the most of limited resources, and moves both strategy and on-the-ground execution.
With first-hand experience in both Japan and China tech ecosystems, we focus on building not just decks, but
teams, products and systems that actually work in the market.
