Hi TIA community!

I’m Masahiko Honma, Founder and General Partner of Incubate Fund. Incubate Fund is the largest seed stage VC firm based in Tokyo and Singapore. We invest in Japan and Asia and focus on mobile, gaming, and O2O startups.

My day-to-day job involves:

1. Identifying new business opportunities
2. Helping startups raise their next round of financing
3. Solving the problems that founders are facing everyday.

I’m happy to answer any questions, specifically on the following topics:

• Is there a tech startup bubble now?
• How to raise funds from Japanese investors or any investors?
• Business model validation. What works or what doesn’t?
• How to enter the Japanese and Southeast Asia markets?
• General startup topics
