Pink Cow Comspiracy (PCC) - "Bringing together people building IT
businesses" Wed. July 14th, 7pm 'til late

"Bootstrap Market Entry", Evan Owens, www.crosswire.co.jp

Many companies force their way into Japan only to find, after a year, that
the market is considerably more difficult to enter than they originally
imagined. Evan will talk about his own experiences with this and how, over
two years, CrossWire has been gradually turning a disaster into a success
story.

Evan has been working in Japan as a technologist for nearly ten years and
has participated in projects for a variety of large organizations, both
foreign and Japanese alike. Discovering that his abilities to bring
cultures together -- Western and Japanese, Engineering and Business -- were
in demand, Evan partnered with Jeffrey Jousan in 2002 to setup a new kind of
deeply technical market-entry boutique for the Japanese market.

Presentation & discussion from 7-8pm then from 8pm onward willbe open
networking in a relaxed atmosphere so that everyone can meet people and
share what they are working on.

NO CHARGE for entry! (Bar and food pay as you go) RedHook beer on special
for the night!
