Nationwide Startup Day

Nationwide Startup Day『全国StartupDay』

Most of the entrepreneurial activity in Japan is concentrated in Tokyo, meaning the opportunities for entrepreneurs in rural areas are limited.  Through holding the Nationwide Startup Days, we have learned that Japan is lacking a structure to provide risk capital and business opportunities to entrepreneurs in rural areas.

In the Nationwide Startup Day, we host panel discussions by prominent venture capitalists and staff from large companies to show the direction that startups should aim for.  Startups also pitch in the event creating opportunities for financing and business collaboration. 

ReleasePitch!

Release Pitch is a presentation event for startups to present their new products and services. This is an opportunity for startups launching new products and services to get noticed by the press.

1 day CFO training: Finance consultation for entrepreneurs

In the CFO training course, we advise CFOs and give them individual advice on business planning and capital management. Starting with series A funding, Tohmatsu Venture Support tries to establish a seed funding round with a minimum of 100 million yen. The amount of money a startup can make during funding has a large impact on the options the startup has with its business model.
