IDEA CLIMBING: Learn to Explain Your Business Idea to Others

A 90-minute ideation workshop for students. It is aimed at people who want to start a business but have no idea yet, or who have an idea but lack the confidence to explain it. Participants work through how to generate ideas, how to organize them into a form others can follow, and how to refine them enough to take a first step, all through hands-on exercises. With mentor support, attendees shape their business idea until the problem, the customer, and the solution are clear enough to explain to someone else. The goal is an idea ready for the next round of mentoring or feedback. The mentor on the day is Hirokazu Udagawa, a community manager in the startup studio division at Gaiax. The venue is the LIVING space on the first floor of Tokyo Innovation Base, a one-minute walk from the Kyobashi exit of Yurakucho Station. Doors open at 18:30, admission is free, attendance is limited to students, and capacity is around 10 people.
