Chairman, Joichi Ito
Thanks to the funding and expertise of Joi, in less than a year Storyplanet went from a bunch of wireframes, sketches and design drafts, to the online entity you see today. Joi is behind several successful startups and is currently spending about half of his time on new business venture and the other half on non-profit projects.
