About Event

What if your first internship was at a startup?

Not a huge company.
Not 5 rounds of interviews.
Just you, a founder, and a conversation.

JVA × Shibuya Startup Support is bringing Meet the Founders - a casual, English-only event where you can meet startup founders in Tokyo and explore real internship opportunities.

So… what actually happens?

🎤 4 startups. 4 quick pitches.
Get to know who they are, what they’re building, and what kind of interns they’re looking for.

🚶 Find the one that interests you.
After the pitches, walk around the startup booths and talk directly with the founders.

💬 Ask questions. Pitch yourself. See if there’s a fit.
Some startups may even be open to interviews on the spot. 👀

No endless scrolling through job boards.
No wondering what the company is actually like.

Just meet the people behind the startup and see where the conversation goes.

And who knows - you might come looking for an internship and leave with one.

Event details:

📅 Friday, August 28 | 15:00 – 17:00
📍 Shibuya Startup Support
🌐 English-only

This is for you if you:

✨ Want to try working at a startup
🚀 Want to work closely with founders and take on real responsibility
🌏 Want to work in an English-speaking environment
👀 Are curious about startups but don't know where to start

We’re looking forward to an afternoon of great conversations, new connections, and hopefully your next internship opportunity! 🌱✨
