Unveiling "Beyond Talks": A Platform for CEO Insights

In June 2026, Beyondge Corporation, based in Shibuya, Tokyo and led by CEO Takunori Nogami, is set to launch "Beyond Talks," an innovative interview media that delves into the decision-making processes of Chief Executive Officers (CXOs). This platform aims to reveal not just the success stories of startups but also the intricacies and challenges that accompany profound business decisions. By interviewing startup founders and representatives from corporations collaborating with these startups, "Beyond Talks" aims to draw out crucial insights and stories that were previously unspoken, providing inspiration and guidance to future entrepreneurs.

The Background: Providing a Voice to Difficult Decisions

While there are many opportunities to discuss business outcomes and strategies, there are few platforms dedicated to expressing the internal struggles and decisions of CEOs—decisions on which path to take and what sacrifices to make during pivotal moments. These are the untold stories that carry power for those who will face similar crossroads in the future.

Beyondge has been consistently involved in the creation, development, and exit support of startups, as well as aiding large corporations in growth hacking through its venture capital, Beyondge Capital. "Beyond Talks" emerges as a venue to document and communicate the realities behind the decision-making processes of CEOs, thereby showcasing the faces and choices of those pushing beyond the cutting edge of business.

Overview of "Beyond Talks"

"Beyond Talks" features two distinct series:

Series 1: Go Beyond Stories—Trailblazers in Business

This series presents discussions between startup founders and Beyondge Capital's representative partner, Kota Odaka. Having closely followed these entrepreneurs through funding and accelerator support, Kota will explore deep topics, from the initial inspirations for founding a startup to the challenging decisions made during the toughest moments. The conversations are designed to elicit those "now we can talk about it" anecdotes that provide authentic narratives and lessons for aspiring entrepreneurs.

Series 2: Next Beyond Dialogue—Cross-Border Dialogues between Corporations and Startups

This series will bring together CEOs of startups and representatives from large companies, along with Beyondge team members, to discuss the motives behind their collaborations, and the unique insights gained from their experiences. These discussions aim to shed light on the open innovation landscape and the valuable outcomes of cross-industry collaboration.

These two series take their name from Beyondge's support programs: the "Go Beyond" initiative for startups and the "Next Beyond" program aimed at large corporations. By opening up these stories to the media, Beyondge seeks to share the challenges faced daily in the support of startups with the wider public.

Statement from Kota Odaka

Reflecting on his experiences at Beyondge Capital, Kota Odaka states, "Through our investments and support, I've realized that the challenges of CEOs cannot be fully articulated through numbers or mere business details. The reasoning behind their choices and the crossroads they faced—what they relinquished and what they committed to—provide inspirational insights for those who dare to take on future challenges. As a partner who has run alongside these leaders, I am committed to extracting and sharing those stories that can’t be told in real-time, showcasing how startups and large corporations can cross boundaries and innovate together."

Conclusion

With the launch of "Beyond Talks," Beyondge aims to highlight the significant but often overlooked narratives behind the critical choices made by business leaders. This initiative not only serves as a powerful platform for storytelling but also supports the creation of a community where knowledge and experiences can be shared, fostering growth across various sectors.
