The closing pitch day for TIB STUDIO, the Tokyo Metropolitan Government's pre-seed validation programme, and the rare free demo day where the investors in the room are actually looking. Alongside the cohort pitches there are two talk sessions with substance: Chiba Dojo's Koki Hirota and Kauche founder Kempei Monna on why two companies that raised the same seed five years ago ended up in completely different places, and a session on winning trust outside Japan. A fundraising bootcamp runs in parallel. Free, in Japanese, at TIB in Marunouchi.
