Tokyo Startup Pitch Event: A Global Japanese Startup Matching Event by UNERI on February 2, 2026
Tokyo Startup Pitch Event is a next-generation, dialogue-driven pitch event connecting leading startups from Japan with global venture capitalists and CVCs interested in Japan’s innovation ecosystem. (Last year's event overview is here.)
The 2026 edition aims to deepen mutual understanding and collaboration between Japanese startups and overseas investors—beyond traditional pitching. It offers a space for candid discussion about funding processes, legal aspects such as term sheets, and, most importantly, trust-building in cross-border investment relationships.
This invitation-only event will take place on February 2, 2026 (afternoon) at Tokyo Innovation Base (TIB).
