EY ShinNihon Report Event on Female Entrepreneur Unicorn Program

EY ShinNihon, a prominent auditing firm based in Chiyoda, Tokyo, has recently concluded a report event shedding light on its innovative program aimed at supporting female entrepreneurs. In collaboration with the Tokyo Metropolitan Government, the firm has initiated a project designed to help women entrepreneurs attain unicorn status or prepare for an IPO (Initial Public Offering).

The program consists of two key initiatives: the "IPO Realization Peak Attack", which targets women entrepreneurs aspiring to achieve unicorn status or launch an IPO, and the "Entrepreneurship Knowledge Parachute", aimed at early-stage female entrepreneurs—including students and startups—who are in the seed phase. These initiatives offer mentorship and training sessions to foster business growth and development.

The event featured various activities, including pitch presentations from program participants and sessions led by venture capitalists to provide insights into the funding landscape for burgeoning businesses. The structure of the event allowed participants to showcase their ideas, receive constructive feedback, and network with industry peers.

Over the years, EY ShinNihon has been dedicated to empowering women entrepreneurs, facilitating their expansion endeavors, and aiming to enhance their societal contributions through the accelerator program. By leveraging their extensive expertise in IPO processes and fostering a lively community of female entrepreneurs in Tokyo, the initiative also aims to bridge knowledge and experience across generations of women entrepreneurs.
