ISSIN

ISSIN runs annually in Fukuoka in hybrid form, roughly 30 weeks from a full kick-off at CIC Fukuoka in late July through an interim report meeting at CIC Tokyo to a Demo Day the following January, with about one hour of secretariat mentoring online per month plus three input seminars. Participation is free and no equity or investment term appears in the programme outline; travel to the Tokyo interim meeting is at the startup's own expense. The programme makes no investment itself - its stated purpose is helping startups raise from VCs and investors.
