Come, see, and conquer at #tiatokyo2017
Editor’s Note: These startups are featured because they have acquired funding, and are not necessarily attending Tech in Asia Tokyo 2017.
While that’s all for our weekly roundup, this is far from a full picture of what’s going on in the Japanese startup ecosystem. Want to see the big picture? Then you should definitely take a trip to Tokyo for our Tech in Asia Tokyo 2017 Conference.
In addition to Bootstrap Alley, we’ll invite keynote speakers from world class companies and host a no-holds-barred startup pitch battle. We’re still offering discounts on tickets, but hurry, because it won’t last long. If you buy your ticket with the code tiatokyo15, you can shave off 15 percent of the cost but only until 23:59 (GMT +9) on August 18!
