FORSTARTUPS Introduces Global Startup Options on STARTUP DB
FORSTARTUPS, based in Minato, Tokyo, is excited to announce the launch of a new feature on its information platform, STARTUP DB (Startup Database), starting December 1st. This innovative feature will provide users—the companies that have contracted with STARTUP DB ENTERPRISE—the ability to browse and search overseas startup data. This will revolutionize access to vital information by allowing users to explore data on international startups in a unified format.
The new functionality is powered by a strategic partnership with Dealroom.co B.V., a prominent global entity providing startup and corporate database information from Europe. Dealroom encompasses a vast repository of approximately 3 million companies, offering insights into around 1 million US startups and investors, all conveniently translated into Japanese within the STARTUP DB platform.

As a result, they can gain critical insights across different markets, enhancing their decision-making capabilities and competitive strategies.
