These are the conversations our members are having right now.
Don't see your challenge here? Share it! Our job is to make sure it gets the conversation it deserves.
"The Musubi Tech program is a unique ecosystem. You don’t just get support for challenges you are consciously trying to solve, but can also take away valuable learnings through connections with other founders that are facing similar obstacles."
Most communities ask you to make an introduction and figure it out from there. We do it differently. Before you meet anyone, we get to know you, your goals, and your challenges. Then we make the introductions ourselves.
Good conversations don't happen by accident. We pose the hard questions, tag the right people, and make sure nobody sits on the sidelines. Online in Slack or in-person at our roundtables, we drive the discussion so you walk away with something real.
Our in-person events are getting smaller and more curated as we grow. Members get priority access and discounted tickets to all Musubi Tech events today, and as we expand, member-only private gatherings are coming. As a founding member, you'll be first in the room.
"Musubi Tech did a really good job bringing people into conversations naturally. They’d raise a topic and ask ‘what’s your take on this?’ It wasn’t overwhelming - you gradually got to know people through the discussions and understood who was here for what."
Before you meet anyone, we meet you. We want to understand your goals, your challenges, and what you're hoping to get out of the community. If it's a fit, we make sure you hit the ground running.
We do our homework before you arrive. Based on your goals and challenges, we handpick a few members and make the introductions personally. You show up already knowing who to talk to.
This is where it gets interesting. We tag you into conversations that matter to your work, pose questions we think you'll have a strong take on, and make sure your voice is part of the discussion. Online in Slack, or face to face at our roundtables.
Participating in the online community is free. Members also receive discounted access to Musubi Tech events.
Note: We plan to launch a paid version of the community in Spring 2026, which will be a curated group of experienced tech leaders that regularly meet to share business advice and connections. Sign up and we will send you more details as we get closer to launch.
We look for leaders who are genuinely curious, empathetic, self-aware, and accountable for their own growth.
Beyond that, members either operate a tech business or startup in Japan, or are actively exploring tech-related innovation in their own organization. If you're serious about building better teams and having honest conversations with people who get the context, you'll fit right in.
We do not allow sales or promotional activity of any kind, whether it's for your personal brand, company, product, or event. This isn't a leads list. It's a relationship-first community, and that means respecting both the time and the intent of every person in the room.
What's shared in the community stays in the community. We can't guarantee it legally, but we set clear expectations with every member. Sharing someone else's information outside the community without their permission isn't acceptable. We maintain trust by holding people accountable to that standard.
We built this community to work in both English and Japanese. Our bilingual community managers facilitate conversations and support members who are practicing in their second language.
Online meetings use translation tools so everyone can follow along and participate.
At in-person gatherings, members use colored stickers to signal their language preference: blue for English, red for Japanese, and both for bilingual. It makes it easy to know who can bridge the conversation.
The more we know about you, the better we can do our job. Share your challenges openly, respond when we bring you into a conversation, and don't be afraid to disagree or ask why.
The most valuable thing you bring is your honest perspective, and we create the space for it to be heard.
