Originally organized by Techstars Tokyo. (日本語は下記） Techstars Tokyo and IPPO Inc. are bringing together startup founders and Venture Capitalists for an informal evening of open networking and genuine connection. The best partnerships and investments often start with a casual, unfiltered conversation over a drink rather than a rigid pitch session. Designed to move away from formal matchmaking and strict agendas, this event provides an accessible space for founders and VCs to mingle, share ideas, and build organic relationships at their own pace. Whether you are a founder looking to get on the radar of active investors without the pressure of a pitch deck, or a VC seeking to meet dynamic entrepreneurs in a relaxed setting, this evening is built for open dialogue and serendipitous connections.
