Startup Pitch Night: Pitch Your Startup Ideas to the Investors/ Experts
Do you have a startup or a strong idea for a startup? Could you use blunt, honest feedback on your startup ideas? At this interactive in-person event, you can pitch your ideas to a panel of Japan/ Korea/ Taiwan + global startup investors and experts for ratings and feedback. Even if you don't want to pitch, you are invited to hear startup ideas and watch how the experts analyze businesses. Pre-submit your pitch for priority feedback, but we will also select pitches live from the chat.
🎁 Up to 3 winning pitches will be awarded a Founder Institute Fellowship (program fee waived) for the Japan, Korea, or Taiwan chapters—a fantastic opportunity to join a global network of founders and mentors.🔥
