[POD] Tokyo-based VC Schyler A Cole talks funding in Japan for sustainable business

A big question when seeking funding in Japan is how can entrepreneurs and business people who want to "do good" for people and planet- make a positive social and environmental impact - while also "doing good" financially get VC funding which until recently hasn't funded many business ideas unless it would scale rapidly and show huge returns on investment.
Here a VC living in Tokyo shares her view of funding more sustainable business projects in order to support their growth and talks about the importance of sustainability in successful businesses in Japan and beyond.
