Crowdfunding platform launches for unique goods and services from Japan

Tokyo Otaku Mode Inc on Monday announced the launch of a worldwide crowdfunding platform, Tokyo Mirai Mode (miraimode.com), for supporting, funding, and purchasing unique creations and products from Japan.

The first round of projects to open on Tokyo Mirai Mode includes three products: MESH (http://meshprj.com), a DIY IoT toolkit born from Sony Corporation’s Seed Acceleration Program for new businesses; Key-Quest, a convenient key-shaped 6-in-1 multi-tool by Tsukada Co Ltd that can fit easily inside pockets; and LEVI SOUND, a wireless, levitating Bluetooth speaker by KEN LLC.

Tokyo Mirai Mode is also fully cooperating with Hatsuhiko, a test marketing platform designed for markets outside Japan and tailored for internal startups nurtured within Sony Corporation’s Seed Acceleration Program. Hatsuhiko will provide the opportunities to ascertain the needs of overseas markets, as well as the chance to develop and improve products through direct communication with overseas consumers, through the Tokyo Mirai Mode platform.
