About Tyson Batino
I am passionate about helping businesses and companies scale
Brief summary
Half-Japanese and originally from Hawaii, my initial plan was to come to Japan for 2 years to save some money and then go to graduate school to become a licensed therapist. Since then I taught English for several years, become an HR manager, and started 3 businesses.
I am passionate about helping businesses in Japan. Let me help you enter or expand in the Japanese market through my experience in recruitment, talent management, marketing, sales, and business process optimization. I also help startups with scaling and getting investment.
Founding Scaling Your Company
I have seen many businesses struggle because of not having the right talent for marketing, wrong people doing sales, and no system for developing current employees. Additionally, there is a lack of quality information in English on HOW TO RUN A BUSINESS in JAPAN.
Based on my experience of scaling two companies, I am now advising more than 25 businesses from a variety of industries to get the right people, systems to develop them, and how to get more inbound and outbound sales through utilizing marketing. Outside of advising companies, I run the scaling Japan podcast, course, and free business in Japan resources.
Startup Mentor
I served as a resident mentor (highest level of commitment) for the Accelerate Aichi 500 Global startup accelerator program in 2022 - 2023 - doing seminars on market entry to Japan and lead generation and doing one-one with the 17 startups who were a part of the program.
I also do seminars and one-on-one's for the Founder Institute Tokyo program. I lead seminars on hiring and lead generation.
Founding One Coin English
After working in the public and private sector in education for many years, I knew the only way to make change was to start my own business. Within 6 years after founding our business, we were able to more than 11 locations, 8000 active students, and 200 staff.
I developed all the recruitment, training, management, and HR processes while working as founder / HR director. You can hear how I started my business in Japan on small business Japan podcast.
Founding Japan Switch
I was not involved in the marketing and accounting in One Coin English and I wanted to become a more diverse entrepreneur, so I requested to create a subsidiary business.
We were able to reach mid six-figure sales in one year and then COVID-19 hit us. I have been able to continue growing the business despite no new foreigners coming into Japan and most competitors getting crushed. This lead to receiving a small feature in the who's who in the world of business in Japan in the Japan times.
