AI-Driven Development Pitch Night by TIMEWELL: A Leap into the Future

AI-Driven Development Pitch Night

On October 30, 2025, TIMEWELL will host an exhilarating pitch event at the Tokyo Innovation Base, featuring 24 entrepreneurs who are making waves in AI-driven development. This gathering, designed to showcase groundbreaking ideas and projects, promises an evening full of innovation and opportunity.

Event Overview

The event is conducted in collaboration with the Tokyo Metropolitan Government's WARP program. It will spotlight both students and external challengers who have taken significant strides in developing prototypes or launching their businesses. Unlike traditional pitches limited to theoretical ideas, this event showcases real-world applications that these entrepreneurs are bringing to life. Participants will have the opportunity to pitch their work, with each presentation lasting approximately three minutes. The winner will be awarded a cash prize of 100,000 yen.

Additionally, the event is not only a platform for pitches but also an invaluable networking opportunity. Investors, corporate representatives, and potential customers will be present, allowing for practical matchmaking that could lead to funding and collaboration opportunities. We invite everyone to experience this momentous occasion where the next wave of startups takes flight.
