Meet 57 investors in 48 hours at Tech in Asia Tokyo 2016

Conference attendees exchanging name cards at Tech in Asia Tokyo 2015.

Which tech conference allows startups to pitch to more than 1 investor per hour?

Tech in Asia Tokyo 2016, that is.

We know pitching to investors is a painful process. First, you need to look for investors. Second, you’ll spare no effort in reaching out to the investor of your choice. Third (and perhaps the most agonizing step), you’ll expend every means possible in making them agree to meet you for coffee. And that’s even before you get to pitch your idea to them. Preparing the pitch and the follow up post-meeting is another headache altogether.

Trust us, we feel you. And that’s why we want to make your life easier with Startup-Investor Speed Dating.

What’s that?

For the uninitiated, Startup-Investor Speed Dating is a signature segment of our Tech in Asia conference series. Think about it as a traditional speed-dating event, but instead of finding a romantic partner, you’ll find investors that share your vision and are willing to inject fresh funds into your startup.

The best part? We eliminate the all-too-common scenario pictured above by sourcing and bringing in top VC firms in the industry together – all at a single venue. And that’s real networking value.

With this, you’ll no longer have to spread your net wide, going to such great lengths looking for investors to pitch to. And there’s an opportunity to experience this just right around the corner, at Tech in Asia Tokyo 2016 this coming September 6 & 7.

How does it work?

Attending startups get the opportunity to pitch to any of the 57 participating investors of their choice for five minutes per investor. Each investor will be allocated an hour to hear startups pitch, and there is no limit to the number of investors you can meet at this segment. (Hint: The more manpower you have, the more investors you can pitch to!)

Pro-tip: Check back on our events website to find out the timeslot each investor will be allocated. Then, plan your agenda accordingly!
