If you win, MOV and Kokuyo will support you for a year! Seed Stage Limited Startup Pitch Event "Doryu MOV" Calling for Speakers!

The "Doryu MOV" is a pitch event limited to the seed stage. It will be held as part of the startup support efforts by the co-working space Creative Lounge MOV, which celebrates its 10th anniversary this April, with a view to the next 10 years. The judging panel will consist of MOV members and five judges from Kokuyo Co. Speakers will be solicited from outside the company. The winner will be provided with office support for one year, as well as a variety of other support to realize their business and encourage them to launch within a year.

Also behind the holding of this event is the trend of "Movu no Tora" (not Money Tora), which has been held twice before. In particular, the last event was the first time Kokuyo Co., Ltd. widely solicited business partners to solve social issues together, and eight challengers took the stage at the pitch event with the aim of obtaining support from investors. Not only did they win investment from Mr. Minoru Moriya and Mr. Hidetoshi Takano, who participated as judges, but more than half of them have led to collaborations to date, making this an excellent opportunity for business creation. The "Toryu-movu" is a gateway to success for future challengers of the "Tiger of Movu".
