The reality of startups: "The ability to identify growing companies and the commonalities between successful talent"

For all business people who want to make an impact on society by "expressing their individuality" and "increasing their market value" in their one and only life.

In this era of accelerating change, there is growing interest in careers that go beyond the stable confines of a "large corporation" and allow people to create value through their own efforts.
This event will delve into the current and future of startup careers from a multifaceted and practical perspective, targeting not only those already active in startups, but also those currently employed at major companies but seeking their next career move. On the day, we will delve into the following perspectives:

Investors discuss startup success strategies and macro trends
How to spot a growing startup? A realistic guide
"What if I were an investor?" workshop
Why are those people so successful? The attitudes and skill sets of startup talent

The speaker will be Yasuhiro Mimura, CEO of GOLDEN EGG Ventures, which invests in and supports over 250 companies both in Japan and overseas.
In addition to his extensive investment track record at JAFCO and Digital Garage, Mimura has built a unique VC model leveraging his deep understanding of people and organizations. He will talk about the "power to survive in startups" from an investor's perspective.

In addition, this time we have prepared a workshop-style session where participants can experience the "perspective to identify startups." It is designed as a place to cultivate the "ability to proactively choose a career that suits you," rather than simply changing jobs or going independent. Whether you're interested in startups but don't know where to start, or you want to "demonstrate greater value and be more active in a startup," you're sure to find the perspective and encounters you need here.

We look forward to your participation.
