\nand that tweet has been retweeted over 5,000 times.
\nIeiri is one of the successful icons in Japanese web start-up scene. He brought up his Paperboy & Co. to JASDAQ stock market as the youngest president in history. After leaving the company, started several cafe in central Tokyo. He established some companies including Hyper Internets<\/a> [J], is running Campfire<\/a> [J], a Japanese version of Kickstart<\/a>. And he invested several IT start-ups.
\nAlthough he was inspired by other’s April Fool’s tweet asking 5,000 retweets to disclose his company name<\/a>, Ieiri said it is not a lie<\/a> [J]. He is well known by many of such kind actions and is reliable on doing silly-sounding things seriously.
