About Musubi Tech

Mission

To tie together the Japanese and international startup tech communities.

Our Vision

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.

Why tech founders and leaders?

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.

Value Propositions

Empower the next generation of entrepreneurs and tech leaders at startups, scale-ups and venture companies in Japan to… 

  • take greater risks by receiving moral support from a community that cherishes risk-taking, authenticity, and compassion.
  • mitigate commercial risk quickly by using modern product delivery methods and by acculturating quickly to deeply understand a foreign culture.
  • attract & retain diverse talent by creating workplaces that foster respect, growth, and a strong sense of belonging.

The Story

Why the name むすびテック?

むすび

むすび is short for むすびます, which means to tie or bind together, and connects with our mission and vision.

テック

テック is a foreign word to represent technology. Equally important, the combination of the hiragana (domestic) and katana (foreign) characters symbolize the unity we aspire to create between the International and Japanese communities.
