In recent Shibuya
The trend of venture support
Recently, I feel that there is a large flow of "trying to support the people of the business with a good idea."
For example, new to Dogenzaka "Forest Library". He was recruited investors to "make a night of library in Shibuya" in crowdfunding, set a new Japanese record in the patron (human us to the investment) number of about 1,700 people. How collected funds, achieved a 9.5 million yen, about 10 times with respect to the target amount of 1 million yen, it has become a hot topic.
※ The crowdfunding, that creators and entrepreneurs raise funds from unspecified number of people through the Internet.
If you try to entrepreneurs until now, or asked to become a guarantor to the acquaintance, or Opinions in the bank, something there Once Flit! Such as, there were images, such as go the way of no return after.
The Internet is becoming more prevalent, individuals even without "jumping from the stage Shimizu" as of old, new business is becoming to be able to start.
The movement is lively, especially in Shibuya.
I've looked in our Shibuya culture project, Shibuya-ku, was the first place by far as the "city of choice for IT venture."

From that venture companies are integrated, that active ties is likely born of the people, and the circulation that it further lays the integration of people who aim for the next venture, we can in Shibuya.
In addition, such a venture companies large companies have come out a movement to support. For example, including the Fujita president of cyber agent, GMO, such as DeNA, once people who were entrepreneurs such as through investment in the venture, we are trying to nurture the next generation. Course or looking for a kind of new business, as well as being considered a recovery attempt from grow larger as an investment destination, it seems that it would be welcome support for the venture company.
■ KDDI∞Labo
Meanwhile, KDDI is not an investment, I heard that doing a new form of entrepreneur support program.
KDDI to team with the service idea is three months thoroughly support. What seems to KDDI of employees, carried out development and technical assistance, monitoring of using the employees, together until business travel.
... What a such generous.
By the way, I can see the presentation of the sixth term, which should be called the summary version, so I went to KDDI∞Labo 6thDemoDay held in Shibuya Hikarie .
To enter the venue, roughly look around and gathered about 400 people, fully occupied state. By the way, participants are men about 90% and the overwhelming majority, women's toilet saw a rare sight in Hikarie called matrix, is in the men's toilet in the rattle.
First Section of the presentation and the awards ceremony by each team
All five teams, for the service that has been this three months brush up and make a presentation in order. There is also the fact that KDDI up presentation thoroughly there has been follow-up, even a high level any team presentation! Field Each team is falling apart, it has been distributed to a wide range of fields.
First of all the general participants can vote, audience award. I, of creating a "growth Cinema" in the video recording of my child "filme (filmi)One vote to ". Service itself was also good, but was also embraced a favorable impression of the breadth of the market was to sue in expanded memories Market also such as senior and travel as well as children. In your head "memories than things" CM of Nissan will flow through the head (I guess old?)
Superb, it is chosen the "filme" to the audience award, for some reason I've been shouting and "Hooray!". Imperceptibly seems fondness had become stronger.
And, best team of achieving a low-cost and high-quality content delivery "MistCDN"I have been elected.
A description of the second part of future development (venture assistance involving other companies)
From the next of the seventh graduating class, so entering a new phase, was the explanation. Kokuyo and TV Asahi, such as Mitsui & Co., Ltd., a large company that has agreed to this assistance, human resources that their have, sales channels, provides resources, such as technology, seems to us to the support of venture companies.
Personally, large companies had the image of things, to clarify the return of on investment. So Frankly speaking, I was surprised that the companies will cooperate to direct return can not be expected the service to this time.
Entrepreneurs, not quite proceed to the next growth phase and there is no deal with the large companies. That's why matching of the large companies is the important point. But even for large companies, but there is a feeling that you want to support the entrepreneurs, you can understand the feeling to hesitate for a small company with no track record.
That are connected to it well, I think that this KDDI∞Labo.
Large companies to provide a company's resources, you can attend to that young business idea is flowering. Further by the large companies, new business know-how and ideas tips in-house, such as go born, the money seemed also to have found a value that can not be converted.
By collaboration between the current entrepreneurs and large companies, venture market is activated, come further from now on a lot of new business was born from Shibuya. I felt that it is a program that can be in such a trigger.
Currently, It is said that looking for the seventh graduating class (until the application deadline 8/15). Those who confident venture ideas and services, why not try all means to apply.
