今日はTechstars Tokyoのキックオフイベントに登壇し、CEOのMaëlleさんと対談させていただきました!
事前打ち合わせで(Plug and Playは)事業的には競合かもしれないけど、もっと協力してエコシステムを大きくていかなきゃね、と。日本のエコシステムの可能性には期待しかない、とのことでした!
Techstars Tokyo Acceleration,今年は2.5倍の応募があって12社の枠を巡って3000社以上からの応募があったらしい。おもろいね。
プレシード(プロトタイプは出来ていてこれから売上作ろうとしている所の人達)のフェーズ特化型プログラム。
因みにうちのCMO、Techstars米国の公式メンターもしている。
A compelling quote from the Bridging Tokyo event: "Problems change, solutions change, markets change, but founders remain constant." Domain expertise is vital, and Techstars invests in founders.
