quality of 'Pay it forward'. The newly selected entrepreneurs will join Endeavor's global network, benefiting from strategic support from mentors and investors both domestically and internationally.

This system maximizes the utility of space by offering flexible operational models that cater to market demand—from daily rentals to mid- to long-term leasing. Their services encompass all operational aspects, from customer attraction and pricing to automated check-in processes and AI-driven cleaning management, all seamlessly integrated into their proprietary digital solutions. Furthermore, by implementing "labor-saving operations" made possible through technology, they not only address the critical labor shortages in the hospitality sector but also foster cultural experiences by encouraging guests to participate in local festivals, thus promoting community coexistence and enriching cultural experiences.

"It is an incredible honor to be recognized as an Endeavor entrepreneur, and it is a reminder of the need for significant growth to live up to that title. Despite my subpar English skills, being able to stand on such a global stage is a testament to Japan's remarkable startup ecosystem and the incredible investors who have nurtured our ambition. Japan is home to many exceptional entrepreneurs, yet barriers like language and the substantial size of our domestic market can hinder global pursuits. However, the Japan we know today is built on the challenges that our predecessors overcame as they built businesses abroad. Today, we must awaken that resolve among Japanese entrepreneurs, maintaining a forward-moving posture no matter how many times we stumble.
We aim to learn from the Endeavor network, evolving into a company that can compete globally. We strive to be a bridge connecting the Japanese entrepreneurial community to the global network."
"It is a profound honor to be selected as part of the Endeavor entrepreneur community. My startup career traces back to my participation in a Shanghai startup in 2013, where the city buzzed with entrepreneurial activity and a share-culture that thrived on mutual learning. In recent years, the building of entrepreneurial communities in Japan has greatly progressed, and I am convinced that through the unparalleled Endeavor network, we can compete with high-minded entrepreneurs worldwide. Our continued challenges will hopefully inspire even more entrepreneurs to venture from Japan to the global stage."
According to Rina Otsuka, Executive Director of Endeavor Japan, the selection of Yoshida and Wu reflects not only the growth potential of Matsuri Technologies but also global recognition of their entrepreneurial vision and leadership. It is an exciting time for Matsuri Technologies, representing the hope for greater impact not just within Japan but globally.
Since its founding in 2016, Matsuri Technologies has been on a mission to redefine real estate value through technology, seamlessly blending software with real operations. Within a short four years, the startup has grown to become one of Japan's leading vacation rental operators, raising approximately 4.37 billion yen as of January 2025. With projected revenues exceeding 7 billion yen for the fiscal year ending February 2025 and over 3,700 operational units, Matsuri Technologies continues to draw attention as a leading company in the real estate tech sector.
Founded in 1997 in the United States, Endeavor is a non-profit organization dedicated to supporting entrepreneurs.
