After living in Japan for several years, Danny Taing moved back to the United States, and to his dismay, found that he couldn’t find the snacks he had loved so dearly in the United States. As an Asian-American with deep western and eastern cultural roots, he saw an opportunity to bridge the two cultures and share Japanese culture with the rest of the world. Partnering with 100+ year old local snackmakers across Japan, Danny worked to curate Bokksu--a Japanese snack subscription service.
Equally notable, Bokksu is bucking many business trends. Unlike many of the e-commerce and subscription boxes that have raised significant venture funding, Bokksu has been focused on profitability and product fit. With less than $2M in funding, Bokksu has achieved 7-figure revenues and profitability. Danny is a BIPOC and LGQBT single founder, and leads a team across New York and Japan, in which >30% of the company is BIPOC, female, LGBQT, and bilingual.
Danny Taing is the Founder and CEO at Bokksu, a New York and Tokyo-based D2C subscription box and e-commerce platform for Japanese snack food discovery. He developed his passion for Japanese food and travel during his four years living in Tokyo before moving back to NYC. Before starting Bokksu, Danny worked in Business Development at Rakuten and in Digital Marketing at Google. Danny studied Computer Science in the Post-baccalaureate Studies program at Columbia University and received a Master’s in Sociology and a dual Bachelor’s in Psychology and Communication from Stanford University. In his spare time, he is an avid rock climber who loves to get into fierce battles with friends over board games.
