Incubate Camp 12th: 2 features
This year's Incubate Camp, which will be held for the 12th time, will strengthen the following two points in addition to its existing initiatives in order to become an infrastructure program that supports the financing of all entrepreneurs and startups.

1、Strengthen the mentoring support system
Incubate Fund members will meet with all entrepreneurs and startups that enter the program to provide support that will contribute to the growth of your business.
Until last year, mentoring was provided only to those who passed the application screening or were recommended. This year, even if you do not pass the application screening or are not recommended, we will interview all applicants and provide mentoring on business and fundraising.

2、Strengthen VC/Accelerator/Pitch event collaboration
In order to further develop the startup ecosystem, we will enhance the "collaboration with other VCs/accelerators/pitch events" and strengthen our system to support startup fundraising.
As a collaboration with other VCs, startups that pass the screening process will be connected to the following VCs upon request.

First of all, we're looking forward to your participation in our information session!

Prior to the event, we will be holding a kick-off for all those interested in Incubate Camp. If you're not sure if you want to apply, or if you've already applied but want to hear more about the camp, or if you want to hear what others have to say, this is the place for you.

In addition to the presentation of Incubate Camp, there will be time for socializing. Capitalists will also be present, so you can ask them about light financing. We will be serving light snacks and drinks at the event, so please feel free to join us!
