Join us for the October AiSalon event in Tokyo! AiSalon is a global community by and for AI-focused founders, builders, investors, and enterprise partners.
The format is a monthly in-person event with lightning talks from startups with a presence in Japan, showing the products they are working on to other builders, partners, and investors.
Let us know if you want to demo when you submit your application!
Every event features AI startup demos, where founders get valuable feedback and build relationships. Investors and VCs visit AiSalon to see the latest Tokyo AI and ML startup ecosystem innovations.
AiSalon has been launched by Jeffrey Abbott, GP at Blitzscaling Ventures, who decided to partner with Tokyo AI (TAI) through a JETRO patronage for the Tokyo chapter. DEEPCORE supports us with food and beverages, and is also an integral part of the Tokyo AI ecosystem.
This time, the nutrition is kindly provided by Rimon PC (thanks, Eric and David!).
