Founders Network’s new Tokyo chapter supports local startups with peer to peer mentoring and other critical startup resources. Headquartered in Silicon Valley, the Founders Network operates out of the tech capital of the world with a mission to create a global support network of founders, investors and partners.
Learn, Network, and Engage with entrepreneurs from Tokyo
Ranking in the top 15 of global startup ecosystems, Tokyo’s startup culture is thriving. What started in Bit Valley has spread throughout the city with increased access to VC funding, a hotbed of incubators and accelerators, and the support of the city through the Tokyo Startup Ecosystem Consortium, established in 2020.
Founders Network is based in San Francisco, just 45 minutes north of the valley and was built with the Silicon Valley startup founder in mind. At Founders Network, we know that a robust network of other founders is an essential part of any successful tech founder’s startup playbook. Our mentorship program is designed to support our members throughout their startup journey and accelerate their success.
