BtoC Venture Presentation Event sprout. It was a meeting where the last new speaker of 2016 appeared (2016 I will also do a compilation!).
"Sprout" is a startup presentation event held in Shibuya. Only venture companies that deploy BtoC services will appear in sprout! It is sprout that you can experience the most advanced services in Japan.
Speedy presentation of 20 seconds × 10 sheets, enjoying running while drinking is a concept presentation event. Recently it has become a popular event where more than 100 people gather.

What got the best award this dayTRINUS. We find technology that sleeps in Japan, and designers come up with products based on that technology. It is a venture to commercialize and sell if the idea is superior. Because of technology × designer's products, TV and media are taken up every day. Two pictures from what appeared on TV Tokyo.
Q. What are the criteria for commercialization?
A. It is easy to understand functionally clear antibacterial and deodorant. It is also important to be a manufacturer who will do small lot.#sprout_shibuya

TRINUS finds a lot of technologies from all over Japan, and the designer posts many product proposals for that technology. , It is a place where you are concerned about where the criteria for determining which plan actually makes products. Difficulty of commercialization may be different depending on the plan, which basically means that you will judge on TRINUS side. Products that are expected to be commercialized are expected to recruit supporters using cloud facing or sell them at their own EC.
Trophy to Mr. Sato (Left) of TRINUS of the 1st award. The right is tenkyu Kan of the previous best award.
Ethical fashion brand edges are working "INHEELS"
Mr. Fuda of INHEELS
inheels is an ethical fashion brand. Conscious high fashion. Cool, cool theme.#sprout_shibuya
- sprout_shibuya (@ sprout_shibuya)November 2, 2016
You may have heard the words "Ethical" or "SDGs (Sustainable Development Goal)". The former is to make products without illegal dealings, the latter is a move to overcome global social problems and environmental problems. We are working on these in fashionINHEELS (Inheals)is.
Ethical, but the edges are working fashion is not easy.
I wanted Ecical fashion which I can wear even in Gongcon so I made it.#sprout_shibuya- sprout_shibuya (@ sprout_shibuya)November 2, 2016
There are not many brands singing Ethical in fashion. The fact that INHEELS is different from other brands means that it is "fashion with edges". Ethical is usually a quiet design inevitably. However, the photographs below are all INHEELS 'products, ordinary mode clothes, all made in Ethical.
From presentation materials of INHEELS. Characterized by the edge being heard
By the way,Shimokitazawa has opened its first directly managed store. People who are interested please go.
English conversation special training application using AI "Speak Buddy"
Mr. Tateishi of appArray
Recently fashionable AI (artificial intelligence). I brought it to English conversation was developed by appArray Inc. "Speak Buddy"In SpeakBuddy, the more you speak the more you speak, the more intelligent the AI becomes.It is not only American English but also other English, and it is an interesting point that you can choose your favorite English.
Q. Who is the user?
A. I want to go abroad but can not go. Working people and others. Those who are in the second half of the year. Students would rather rather study abroad.#sprout_shibuya- sprout_shibuya (@ sprout_shibuya)November 2, 2016
The main user is a student, not a student. It is even harder to be able to go to the English conversation class very easily when becoming a social worker, and it will be ongoing. It seems that such people are studying English using Speak Buddy in the gap time.
Even though you are using AI, it does not seem to think that you will be able to speak English alone. Tateishi says that people who can actually study abroad and those who can go abroad should go. However, it was said that you want us to use it for those who are busy in Japan.
Browse pictures of 1.6 million rooms and interior "RoomClip"
Mr. Takeshi of tunnel. There are 1.6 million photos on roomclip
roomclip. Photographs in 1.6 million houses have been posted. 2 million monthly UU. A magazine has also been published. We also offer pictures to external media.#sprout_shibuya

RoomClipIs the largest interior example photo application in Japan. Users can post pictures in the interior or home and view it from the app. Scandinavian, you can search for children like a child. Currently it is about 2 million users, 1.6 million copies are being posted.
Because I have a long time at home, my mind is certainly somewhere in my room.#sprout_shibuya
- sprout_shibuya (@ sprout_shibuya)November 2, 2016
Not only can you see pictures in the app,roomclipThe book is published and it is also used for television. There are not many real photographs inside the house, and the photos of roomclip seem to be useful in various media.
Also, in the field of food and fashion, there are a number of services that show the hobbies of others, but it seems that it is not easy to do at home or interior. According to Mr. Takagi, a house is a thing to live everyday, because there are always something in mind that I am devising on my own and something I like something, I definitely wanted to post it.
Flat-rate unlimited club service "LIVE 3S"
Mr. Sato of 3.0
3.0 LIVE 3S is a flat-rate campaign all-you-can-eat service.
"Let's play more, Japanese people"#sprout_shibuya- sprout_shibuya (@ sprout_shibuya)November 2, 2016
Mr. Sato of 3.0 is the last speaker today. LIVE 3S that operates is a service that makes clubs unlimited for a fixed amount if paying monthly 3900 yen. About 20 clubs are focused on Shibuya and Roppongi. Given that there are about 30 famous clubs in Tokyo, it is possible to go to quite a few clubs.
Is not the club troubled if you are ready to go? There seems to be a doubt that the club will be profitable at the price of the beverage, so it seems that the welcome is where the guest comes.
By the way, there seems to be an inbound plan. People from overseas are accustomed to clubs, and they often go to clubs even if they come to Japan. Since it is a plan of all you can go to the club in a week, please recommend it.
Horizontal expansion of genre. I would like to make the whole event on the go. Movies and plays too.#sprout_shibuya
- sprout_shibuya (@ sprout_shibuya)November 2, 2016
Well, what I care about here is whether you will not expand horizontally across the genre. It seems that you can go to the unlimited all-you-can-go with the same mechanism, such as movies, theater, museums, live festivals, etc. However, as other genres, especially music, get involved, copyright and rights issues arise, so it seems not easy. However, I was going to work here on a long-term basis as well.
