Meet
Daisuke Kobayashi
Hello, everyone. My name is DICE, and I’m a professional basketball player. I’m delighted to announce that I’ve been given the opportunity to become an ambassador for Funded7. I’m truly grateful to everyone at Funded7 for giving me this opportunity. I’ve always been interested in trade education and developing the literacy of athletes. I also believe that the potential, future prospects, and educational value of the prop industry will explode in Japan in the future. Witnessing Funded7’s continuous efforts and serious commitment to the Japanese market, I wanted to help as part of the family, and that’s why I accepted this ambassador position.
Let’s all learn, experience, and expand our future possibilities infinitely.
