Can you believe we started planning the first Takeoff Tokyo when I was in the third trimester of pregnancy with my second daughter? It was all very exciting and fun! 😆

We joined X exactly 3 years ago on March 9, 2023. At the time, our first Takeoff Tokyo on June 8-9, 2023 event was not even announced yet and @asonninen @chennwy @goodwilltatsuya got the idea when helping @ShibuyaStartup launch their new co-working space. #MyXAnniversary
