About this program
Techstars Tokyo helps technology startups develop their businesses and build connections in Japan through an intensive mentorship-driven accelerator supported by Mitsui Fudosan, JETRO and the Tokyo Metropolitan Government.
Eligibility
The program welcomes startups from around the world across sectors, with interests including deeptech, fintech and climate-related technologies. Investment is subject to Techstars’ incorporation and agreement requirements.
Benefits and Program Structure
Founders work with mentors and gain access to entrepreneur and investor networks. The approximately three-month Tokyo program concludes with Demo Day.
Financial Support
Tokyo’s published offer totals $120,000: $100,000 through an uncapped MFN instrument and $20,000 through an agreement for 5% common equity. The convertible investment has its own future conversion terms; this is not a grant.
Dates and Application Guidance
The 2026 application deadline was May 6. The cohort runs from August 17 to November 10, 2026. Consult the official program page for future intake announcements; the general Techstars application portal does not itself confirm another Tokyo window.
