Kyoto Machiya Night VC/CVC Pre-Event Report



On July 1, 2025, an exciting event titled the "Kyoto Machiya Night VC/CVC Pre-Event" took place at SIGHTS KYOTO, a co-working space managed by Nishizawa Stay. This official side event of IVS2025 was co-hosted by 01Booster Capital, a venture capital firm based in Chiyoda, Tokyo, and attracted around 120 participants, including independent venture capitalists, corporate venture capitalers, and startup entrepreneurs. The historic backdrop of a 100-year-old machiya (traditional Kyoto townhouse) provided an excellent atmosphere for casual networking, allowing attendees to form valuable connections without barriers.

In preparation for the official opening of its Kyoto office in July 2024, 01Booster Capital is actively pursuing investment activities in the Keihanshin area, focusing on discovering startups and supporting spin-off companies from established businesses. Additionally, beginning in January 2024, they will launch "SPINX KYOTO," a program designed to support spin-offs from corporate entities, aimed at nurturing the next-generation industries through the cultivation of internal entrepreneurs based in the Kyoto region.

The Kyoto Machiya Night served as a significant pre-event leading up to the IVS2025 conference scheduled for July 2-4, 2025. As one of the first side events in a series of activities occurring throughout Kyoto, it witnessed an overwhelming response during the pre-registration phase, confirming the high level of interest in such gatherings and underscoring the unique value of hosting in a traditional Kyoto venue.

The evening was filled with spontaneous interactions as venture capital and corporate venture capital representatives mingled with startup leaders, facilitating discussions around fundraising opportunities and the sharing of insights among investors. Active debates revolved around areas of focus for 01Booster Capital, such as supporting startups and assisting established corporations in launching innovative projects and spin-offs.

Looking ahead, 01Booster Capital aims to contribute to the revitalization of the startup ecosystem in Kyoto by consistently organizing programs and providing networking opportunities at their Kyoto office.
