​Description
At Japan Venture Academy, we believe that building great things starts with building great people and that happens in community. Pace & Pitch is a free, casual run club for ambitious students and globally minded builders in Japan.

​Whether you're deep in a startup, exploring entrepreneurship for the first time, or just looking for like-minded people to run with, you belong here. No pitch deck required. Just show up.
