The essence of a startup is to “create a tomorrow that is different from today”. And to “change the world today and make it a more wonderful place. Although the number of entrepreneurs with a passion for their businesses seems to be gradually increasing around us, Japan is still in its infancy in terms of creating an “ecosystem” that supports entrepreneurs well.
What is the ideal startup ecosystem?
What is an ecosystem that not only imitates the U.S. but also fits Japan? Why don’t you join us and think about the ideal startup ecosystem?
