Who we are
Pulsar Innovations is a business consultancy on a mission to make Japan the best place in the world to build a global startup from.
We believe Japan is full of untapped potential and we're here to unlock it. Whether you're a Japanese founder ready to take on the world, a foreign company looking for a soft landing in Japan, or an ambitious student just getting started, we're in your corner.
We do this by guiding Japanese businesses as they expand globally, supporting foreign companies entering the Japanese market, energizing the startup ecosystem through events, retreats, and community building, and educating the next generation of founders through university programs, accelerators, and workshops.
We're not just consultants. We're builders, connectors, and believers in what Japan can become.
