The Tokyo University of Science unit is set to launch an incubator alongside equity crowdfunding platform Unicorn in summer 2020.
Tusimco, the investment management arm of Tokyo University of Science, has joined forces with equity crowdfunding platform Unicorn for a new incubator slated to launch this summer.
The agreement provides for startups to receive equity funding, as well as incubation-oriented seminars from Tusimco, and Unicorn services relating to fundraising, human resources and business management.
Tusimco was founded in 2014 as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Tokyo University of Science with the aim of generating returns to plough back into the university’s education and research objectives.
