Fumihiro Asaki

58 years old. From Osaka, Japan. Now building a startup in Warsaw, Poland.

25 years in restaurants. Zero tech background. Moved to Europe chasing opportunities in EU regulation.

EU AI Act hits August 2026. Fines up to €35M. Most small businesses aren't ready. So I'm building Hlinix: AI hosting with compliance built in, €25/mo.

Solo founder. Bootstrapping. Learning to code, ship, and sell all at once.

Daily routine: talking to AI for hours. Went from kitchen staff to LLMs. Honestly, the LLMs complain less.

If a 58-year-old ex-chef can build an AI SaaS in Warsaw, what's stopping you?
