SPeak, the provider of JPort, a career platform for young global talents to update the Japanese economy, has been selected as a finalist. Hiromi Karahashi, founder and CEO, will be speaking at IVS 2023 LAUNCHPAD KYOTO, one of the largest pitch events in Japan, which will be held on June 29, 2023.
In order for JPort by SPeak Corp. to reach a wider audience, Mr. Karahashi, will be a finalist at the “IVS 2023 LAUNCHPAD KYOTO”. Fourteen companies, including SPeak, are scheduled to give presentations on June 29 from 3:30pm to 6:30pm. In addition, the #SPeakUp campaign has started on JPort’s official LinkedIn page, inviting young global talents to share their real-life experiences in career, living, and finance.
What is IVS LAUNCHPAD?
IVS LAUNCHPAD, as its name implies, is a pitch event that was established to “be a launching pad for early-stage startups that have not yet made it to the world”. The first event was held in 2007, and 2023 will mark its 17th year. More than 5,000 companies have entered the event to date. In the past, 60 of the companies that have participated in the event have exited, and more than 35 companies have raised over 1 billion yen in funding and are rapidly growing. The IVS LAUNCHPAD has become one of the largest pitch events in Japan in terms of both history and scale, and is also known as the “gateway to success for startups.”
In 2023, the stage is set for Kyoto, a city with a rich history and popularity around the world. IVS and Kyoto Prefecture have collaborated to establish the “Kyoto Prefecture Prize”, an award that provides intensive support to startups to be able to compete with the rest of the world. Up to 10 million yen will be awarded to the winner. #IVS2023
