BUCJ board members met with Brown's Dean of the School of Public Health, Ashish Jha, and his delegation that accompanied him for a conference in Tokyo.

To understand how founders convert that momentum into sustainable companies, the Brown University Club of Japan is proud to convene three entrepreneurial alumni, Matthew Romaine, John Shields, and Jacob Sullivan, each at distinct stages of the journey—exit, scale‑up, and pre‑launch—for a candid discussion of lessons learned and roadblocks ahead.

We’ll be hosting a casual gathering to introduce incoming students and their families to Brown life. A light lunch will be served, and the event is free to attend. There are only 10 spots available for current students and alumni, so RSVP on a first-come, first-served basis to secure your spot.
