Taking place in the rapidly growing tech ecosystem of Tokyo, the three-month mentorship-driven program is bringing together founders from across the globe from countries of Finland, India, Indonesia, U.S. and Vietnam along with six Japanese companies. The 2024 class was chosen for innovative products and solutions in areas that will revolutionize how entertainment industries work, how the companies manage their data, and how people live and work better.

“We are thrilled to welcome the very first class of Techstars Tokyo Accelerator program,” said Yuki Shirato, Managing Director at Techstars. “This exceptionally talented and diverse group of founders demonstrates tremendous potential and we’re eager to offer our full support leveraging our network of mentors, investors and talents locally and globally and growth-focused tools and workshops, to propel them towards success.”

Demo Day is scheduled on November 12th, 2024, where founders will have an opportunity to pitch their businesses to a community of mentors and potential investors.
