WILDCARDとは？
Uber、AirBnB、Box等、多くの北米／海外発スタートアップ企業が日本に進出し市場での認知度を高めている一方で、北米において日本のスタートアップのほとんどは未だ「無名」です。その原因の一つには、中国やインドのように米国に地に足をつけて、世の中にとって必要なものを本気で取り組む日本人が少ないことが挙げられます。また、日本人が海外起業をしたいと考えた時に、本格的なバックアップ環境を提供するサポート企業がほとんどないことも大きな原因となっております。さらには、日本を離れて諸外国に行くと必ずといって良いほど現地社会の中に「日本人縦型村社会」を形成したがる独特の傾向も原因の一つかもしれません。 そこで、本プログラムでは、米国サンフランシスコに本拠地を置き、サービス系スタートアップでの実務経験をはじめ、長年の投資銀行業界及び日本国内及びシリコンバレーでのベンチャー投資を通じた実務ノウハウや経験を持つ熊谷伸栄とアメリカ・シリコンバレーのスタートアップ・シーンで幅広い活動をするCharles Belleを中心とする日米精鋭チーム（※）により、事業プランを徹底的にブラッシュアップし、初期的な事業構築に加担をしたのちに、北米の投資家からのインキュベーション投資を促進し、現地での事業運営の実務的な後方支援を”共同創業者のアウトソース”的に行います。 ※プロジェクト規模で随時追加メンバーあり 主な対象 北米を中心とした海外市場を主要マーケットとして、設立当初から現地を活動拠点とする事業を想定されるスタートアップや個人、及び、将来的に北米での事業開発を本格的に視野に入れている日本国内の中小企業 プログラムの主な特徴
