I’m thrilled to share that I graduated from the Funding Lab in May 2023, an exclusive post-program offered by the Founder Institute (FI) , designed specifically for FI alumni and provided at no cost. During the cohort, I gained invaluable insights into fundraising and interacting with investors, which significantly shifted my approach and boosted my confidence in fundraising. This enhanced perspective was instrumental in my successful venture capital funding, paving the way for my successful relocation to Singapore from Tokyo, facilitated by the EntrePass.
