AiSalon Tokyo - November 2024
NOTE: if you want to demo now or at a future monthly AiSalon event, check with Ilya Kulyatin (ilya@tokyoai.jp or on LinkedIn)!
Join us for the November AiSalon event in Tokyo! AiSalon is a global community by and for AI-focused founders, builders, investors, and enterprise partners.
The format is a monthly in-person event with lightning talks from startups with a presence in Japan, showing the products they are working on to other builders, partners, and investors.
Every event features AI startup demos, where founders get valuable feedback and build relationships. Investors and VCs visit AiSalon to see the latest Tokyo AI and ML startup ecosystem innovations.
AiSalon has been launched by Jeffrey Abbott, GP at Blitzscaling Ventures, who decided to partner with Tokyo AI (TAI) through a JETRO patronage for the Tokyo chapter. DEEPCORE supports us with food and beverages, and is also an integral part of the Tokyo AI ecosystem.
This time we will have pitches by six of the startups that went through the Blitzscaling Academy, showing off their newly acquired skills and knowledge!
