Exclusive Exchange Event for CEOs and CxOs
On July 13, 2026, IR Robotics, located in Chiyoda, Tokyo, and AZUSA Audit Corporation co-hosted an exclusive exchange meeting for CEOs and CxOs of startup companies aiming for their Initial Public Offerings (IPOs). Approximately 32 leaders from various startups gathered at AZUSA's Tokyo office in Otemachi, highlighting the eagerness of entrepreneurs to connect and share insights.
Background of the Event
Achieving the significant milestone of an IPO requires not only business growth but also solid strategies in capital policy, governance, and collaboration with securities and audit firms. This event was designed to provide a closed environment where executives could exchange information and insights at a similar level of ambition. AZUSA Audit Corporation, which has extensive experience in IPO support, partnered with IR Robotics to create this unique platform.
J-Ships Talk Session
The event commenced with a talk session featuring President Shibahara of FUNDINNO, a leading equity crowdfunding platform in Japan. Along with IR Robotics CEO Kim, Shibahara discussed the new system “J-Ships,” which enables unprecedented large-scale fundraising for unlisted companies. This groundbreaking approach to IPOs and business transformations captured the attention of attendees, providing practical insights from real-world experiences.
Networking and Discussions
Following the informative session, attendees engaged in lively networking activities. With a common goal of pursuing an IPO, discussions covered a range of in-depth topics, including real challenges faced in capital policy, organizational preparations for going public, and growth strategies that are often difficult to share in typical settings. The atmosphere was charged with energy and excitement as participants connected over their shared ambitions for growth and success.
Attendees expressed appreciation for the opportunity, stating that the exchange of high-quality information with peers in the same phase was invaluable. Many expressed interest in organizing a second event, eager to continue the dialogue sparked through the gathering.
Future Plans
IR Robotics acknowledges the positive feedback from this event and aims to continue fostering a supportive community for startup and venture company executives with a focus on IPO preparedness. Regular meetings will be considered to maintain the momentum created by this successful exchange.
