Who We Are
Most Western companies waste 12-18 months on messaging, partnerships, and hiring that don't work in Japan—burning through $1M+ before they realize their home-market GTM doesn't translate.
I founded Anna Skrypka Studio to help VC-backed B2B SaaS startups and technology companies skip that expensive learning curve entirely.
After scaling Autodesk's SaaS business from $0.5M to $40M ARR in Japan and leading global brand campaigns at Toyota, I saw the pattern: teams copying their playbook to Japan with the wrong buyer psychology, wrong trust signals, wrong brand narrative.
I built a cross-border operating system that fixes this—rebuilding GTM from the inside out using relationship-first strategy, cultural diagnostics, AI-powered marketing workflows, and internal capability building. This approach compresses 18-month learning cycles into 90 days while building team capability, not external dependencies.

Where AI Strategy
Meets Cultural Reality
STRATEGY DOESN'T TRANSLATE
You can't copy-paste a home market GTM into high-context markets like Japan and expect it to convert. Cultural adaptation isn't optional.
FRAGMENTED EFFORT FAILS
Without narrative coherence, AI tools just amplify confusion. Strategy first. Execution speed second.
LEADERSHIP MISALIGNMENT
HQ pushes global templates. Local teams know it won't work but can't articulate why. Misalignment kills execution.
Our Approach
The Augmented Human Method™ is a cross-border operating system that rebuilds GTM from the inside out. Culture determines adoption. AI accelerates output. Mindset ensures capability scales without external dependencies.
CULTURE
Decode cultural buyer psychology to identify high-context market adoption patterns. Map ICP/JTBD mismatches, trust signals, and narrative gaps before they cost you 12–18 months.
TOOLS
Deploy AI-native workflows for 10× execution speed. AI without cultural strategy amplifies confusion. Strategy without AI tools limits velocity.
MINDSET
Develop internal team capability combining cultural fluency with AI literacy to work
without dependencies.
