Reinventing online maps to focus on community

August 17, 2020

We have always loved maps. Maps combine artistry and utility in a way that very few disciplines allow. 

But of course, it's always been a trade-off. The beautiful, ornate maps from centuries past told you where the major landmasses were, but provided little detail. And today's GPS-based maps provide an unprecedented level of accuracy but uninspiring in their presentation. 

Machi Takahashi, founder and CEO of Stroly, has a best-of-both world's solution. 

We also talk in-depth about the unique challenges facing women founders in Japan, and what can be done to make things better for everyone.  

It's a great discussion, and I think you will really enjoy it.
