Summary
Makoto Tanaka is a serial SaaS founder and CEO with 11+ years in web and AI-driven product leadership, currently building AI Native to treat AI as society’s OS rather than a bolt-on tool. He has led two SaaS businesses to over 1,000 enterprise customers and scaled ARR to multi-hundred-million yen, while running organizations of 45 employees plus extended contractors and raising roughly ¥1 billion in equity and debt. A hands-on former front-end engineer and product leader (CyberAgent alumnus), he combines technical fluency across front-end, backend and AI tooling with full-funnel marketing, CS and growth playbooks that produced NRR well above market benchmarks. He routinely delivers measurable impact—such as cutting several tens of millions of yen in labor costs within three months—while launching AI media and international client relationships from scratch. Known for rapid prototyping (day‑scale AI SaaS mocks) and data-driven product decisions, he blends operational rigor with a founder’s appetite for 0→1→10 scaling.
