About this event
- 1 hour
Welcome to Startup Oasis!
If you are a startup founder, investor, developer, marketer, or anyone else in the tech ecosystem looking to start, join, or help a tech startup, this event is for you! Five founders pitch their startup to the audience, then they will join their own breakout room to get feedback from the audience. People have been able to start a business as a result of this process.
We are virtually visiting Tokyo, Seoul, and Taipei ahead of our in-person events in these cities in 2025!
The event will start promptly at 1 PM JST (GMT+9), and networking will be open for the first 10 minutes. The first pitch will start after that. If you would like to pitch, please message the host during this time. During the next half hour, 4-6 founders will pitch their idea to the audience (4 minute cutoff time, and audience questions will be answered in breakout rooms). Then we will have each founder join their breakout session, and attendees can help the founders with ideas and strategy for the remainder of the time! You can also network with other attendees in the networking tab.
Startup Oasis was created to pierce the illusion of accessibility of startups and tech by creating a grassroots forum for early-stage founders to pitch to those in the tech ecosystem to get real-time feedback for their idea or business.
Schedule:
1:00 PM JST (midnight EDT): Doors Open/Networking
1:15 Founders Pitch like on Shark Tank
1:35 -onward: Founders break off into break-out rooms and attendees can move around and help one for the remainder of the time to join or help their startup, similar to a hackathon. There is also a networking tab for other attendees to network with each other 1 on 1.
