Supporting Ambitious Challenges: A New Era with Tiger Funding

Expanding Opportunities with Tiger Funding



In a society that fosters ambitious challenges, Seiichi Sakakibara, CEO of EMOLVA, proudly joins the entrepreneurial support initiative, "Reiwa no Tora (Tiger Funding)." This innovative project aims to aid the next generation of entrepreneurs in realizing their dreams. In an era where passionate endeavors are essential, Tiger Funding reflects a commitment to nurturing these aspirations.

What is Tiger Funding?



Inspired by the legendary program "Money no Tora" from the early 2000s, Tiger Funding serves as a reality-based entrepreneurial support platform. Here, aspiring business owners present their plans and visions, seeking investment and support from seasoned entrepreneurs known as "Tigers." This initiative creates a serious battleground where the quality of a business plan is evaluated alongside the challenger's personality, passion, and logical reasoning. The intersection of dreams and reality in this competitive environment resonates deeply with many spectators.

Rules of Engagement



The rules governing Tiger Funding are straightforward yet rigorous:
  • - Presentation of Ideas: Challengers articulate their business ideas or dreams, clearly stating the required funding amount and investment conditions.
  • - Evaluative Judgment: A panel of five entrepreneurial "Tigers" critically assesses the proposals based on the information provided, determining whether to offer financial backing. In a unique twist, investments are made from the Tigers' personal funds, enhancing the stakes for both parties.
  • - Funding Outcomes: If the total required amount is reached, the outcome is declared an "All," while any shortfall results in a "Nothing."

The Contestant's Journey



One compelling contestant, Yosuke Sasaki, seeks 5 million yen to create a unique combination of gaming and idol culture, using a DAO-based management model. Drawing from his experience in online game operations, Sasaki expresses a vision where fans actively participate in the entertainment creation process. Despite his enthusiasm, his initial presentation quickly styles into confusion, lacking clarity on why he is venturing into the idol space.

The Tigers’ reaction is telling; they find themselves more engaged with Sasaki's passion for gaming over his idol aspirations, leading to critiques about his preparedness. As they dig deeper, questions arise regarding the feasibility of his proposed model and its potential for monetization.

Adding to the uncertainty, last-minute withdrawals of team members raise alarms about his project's viability. The Tigers question whether Sasaki can realistically debut under these circumstances, sharpening their inquiries. Sasaki maintains that the power of connections is his greatest asset and rallying point, even as doubts emerge over whether his collaborators are more than just outsourced help.

His pitch opens a larger dialogue: Is his concept visionary or merely idealistic? The challenge now lies in demonstrating real conviction and the ability to communicate effectively with potential investors.
