Hiroshi Gardner

After building and selling two successful tech startups in his twenties, Hiroshi took an unconventional path to early retirement at 35, dedicating himself to documenting global innovation ecosystems. His mixed Japanese-American heritage sparked an interest in how different cultures approach technological advancement, leading him to create content at the intersection of business travel, technology history, and innovation culture. With a PhD in Computer Science from MIT, he brings technical depth to his observations of how different cities and countries are shaping the future of work and technology.
