We are pleased to announce the recruitment of participants for the MINATO U25 Incubation Program, implemented by Minato City with the purpose of nurturing next-generation entrepreneurs aged 25 and under.
This program is not merely a 「startup experience.」
By repeatedly asking questions such as 「Why this business now?」 「What is the market size?」 and 「What is the willingness to pay?」 we provide a space where participants can refine their business ideas into 「serious business plans」 that can withstand the scrutiny of investors.
BIRD INITIATIVE is commissioned by Minato City to plan and operate this program.
Please review the details and consider applying actively.
