About the event

Startup JAPAN FUNDEAL is a fundraising-focused business matching event designed to connect startups with venture capital firms, corporate venture arms, and angel investors.

Positioned as a specialized program within Japan’s startup ecosystem, FUNDEAL provides curated one-on-one meetings, pitch opportunities, and networking sessions that enable startups to efficiently communicate their vision and secure funding opportunities. The event emphasizes high-quality matching and practical outcomes rather than large-scale exhibition.
