About the Event

Transpose Platform, a U.S.-based fund-of-funds and venture capital firm, will host Tokyo Founders’ Day 2025 in collaboration with JIC (Japan’s largest government-backed fund) and IVS, Japan’s leading tech conference organizer.

The event aims to inspire Japanese founders to shift their mindset from “Starting in Japan” to “Building for the Global Market from Day One.”


Japan’s Startup Challenge

According to World Population Review (2025):

This gap underscores the importance of encouraging Japanese founders to pursue global opportunities from the earliest stages rather than optimizing solely for the domestic market.

“Japan is full of extraordinary young talents capable of competing globally.

Yet, many focus too narrowly on domestic issues and miss the timing to expand abroad.

We want this event to break that pattern and create a space where global ambition becomes the default.”
