Startup Academia Meetup Vol.3
It was launched by four universities participating in the Startup Ecosystem Tokyo Consortium (Tokyo Institute of Technology, Keio University, Tokyo Medical and Dental University, and the University of Tokyo), and together with partner institutions in the consortium and other platforms, aims to foster the development of a global university-based startup ecosystem in the Tokyo and other regions. The “Innovation Design Platform (IdP)” aims to foster and nurture a global university startup ecosystem in Tokyo and other regions.
We are holding a meet-up study session to strengthen the network of information sharing among the parties involved in the IdP ecosystem and to create an environment where university-launched ventures can be born. Of course, we welcome the participation of those who are not involved in IdP in order to foster the ecosystem.
For the third session, we will invite Mr. Masahiro Samejima, General Partner of ANRI Corporation, an independent venture capital firm currently managing funds totaling approximately 30 billion yen, to give a presentation on “What does an academic entrepreneur need to do to be selected by VCs? A “Real talk (tentative)” will be held.
This is a very valuable opportunity for all people involved in university-launched ventures, academic entrepreneurs, VCs, people in the private sector who are practicing or planning to practice collaboration with university-launched ventures, and CVCs to participate.
