March 7: Angel Scramble Event Report

by Shogo Takahashi

On March 7, 2025, in Shibuya, Tokyo, we hosted the "Angel Scramble" event, co-organized by East Ventures, Skyland Ventures, and Z Venture Capital.

Angel Scramble provides entrepreneurs with opportunities to consult on fundraising and receive mentoring through meetings with angel investors. For this event, we invited six angel investors who held individual meetings with approximately 30 entrepreneurs, with each slot lasting 15 minutes. The event also featured a networking session for all participants.

During the meeting sessions, multiple angel investments were decided. Here’s a report on how the event unfolded!
