To tie together the Japanese and international startup tech communities.
We envision a future generation of multicultural tech entrepreneurs and leaders in Japan who build products to solve global challenges while valuing employee well-being. These ambitious and mission-driven professionals understand that collaboration results in mutual growth. Together, they’re shaping a future where people in Japan can make educated choices to explore many opportunities and contribute meaningfully to society on a global scale.
Because they shape the future. When tech founders and leaders lead with a global mindset, they create better teams, products, and businesses. Whether gained through working abroad or in diverse local environments, this mindset is key to innovation in Japan.
Not everyone can live abroad, but everyone should experience the perspective it offers. That’s why Musubi Tech creates events and programs that simulate diverse working environments, helping professionals see the world through multiple cultural lenses.
By supporting founders and tech leaders, we amplify multicultural impact across entire organizations. The ripple effect? More companies in Japan that prioritize global outcomes, inclusive workplaces, and meaningful innovation.

You are a persuasive, bilingual communicator with deep roots in Japan’s startup ecosystem. Your network and voice help ideas move. But you're not just here for sales—you care about solving big problems. You believe Japan’s startups deserve a stronger place on the global stage, and you’re ready to help build the bridge.
You are a critical thinker with a relentless drive to fix what’s broken. You spot risk before it spreads and create systems that scale. With a sharp operational mind and belief in Japan’s untapped potential, you want to build something that outlasts us and uplifts the country in the process.
You are an evidence-based marketer with a curious mind and a sharp instinct for what resonates. You test ideas, study the results, and turn insights into clear direction. You’re also a strong Japanese & English writer who can explain complex things simply. Whether it’s web copy, newsletters, or campaign strategy, you help shape how people understand Musubi Tech and why it matters. Your work helps us reach the right people, at the right time, with the right message.
