LaunchStarz’s mission is to empower aspiring entrepreneurs with Kokorozashi to take on challenges and create a better world. They focus on nurturing the founders and leaders while providing a customized, white-glove service that nurtures startups from the initial stages all the way to launch and scale.
They believe that by actively seeking out challenges and discomfort, we can learn, adapt, and discover new aspects of ourselves. When aspiring entrepreneurs and leaders continue to take on challenges in this way, their passion will have a greater impact on society through the businesses and activities they engage in, leading to a more prosperous and livable world.
They understand the struggles, challenges, and unique cultures of startups both in the United States and Japan, which gives them valuable insights into the needs and requirements of founders from all over the world.
The founders of LaunchStarz met at the park through a mutual friend and connected over their shared experiences in the startup world. This immediate bond and passion to help startup founders worldwide led them to create LaunchStarz, a “Launchpad for Founders” entering the US market or vice versa, launching their startup in Japan.
To grow intellectually as a human being is to become a different person. LaunchStarz is helping Founders become Entrepreneurs. Always be learning to achieve your passion. Never back down from a challenge and always be open-minded.
