His vision—“Empower everyone to open new doors through programming”—has transformed how beginners worldwide approach learning to code.

Masa Kato’s journey is rooted in personal transformation. Once a frustrated computer science student who couldn’t see the joy in programming, he discovered his passion through hands-on learning with friends, eventually landing freelance work and experiencing the profound impact of creation. That pivotal moment—realizing programming could be a gateway to confidence, opportunity, and independence—became the foundation for Progate’s mission: “Be the gate to the exciting world of programming. Be the path to an independent coder.” Join us to hear how he’s opening doors for millions of aspiring developers.

Koki Akiyoshi founded VUILD with a mission: democratize architecture and construction through digital fabrication technology.

Today, VUILD is transforming how buildings are designed and constructed across Japan. The company pioneered Shopbot, Japan’s first digital fabrication platform that enables anyone to manufacture custom wooden structures with precision CNC technology. VUILD has completed 300+ architectural projects and created VUILD Cloud — a platform connecting design, manufacturing, and construction in one seamless workflow.

VUILD has attracted investors including PERSOL INNOVATION FUND and ANRI, with partnerships spanning Yahoo! JAPAN and regional governments nationwide.

Koki Akiyoshi represents a new breed of Japanese founder: taking traditional construction and reimagining it through technology. At Takeoff Tokyo, he’ll share VUILD’s journey from architectural experiment to construction tech pioneer, and why Japan’s craftsmanship culture combined with cutting-edge technology creates unique global opportunities.

Hear from the founder proving the future of construction is digital, distributed, and democratized.
