Upcoming startup events from March 8 - 21
A new workshop event and more!
Hey there! It’s Ysa, back again with another list of upcoming startup events.
It’s finally March and we’re slowly inching towards the end of the first quarter of 2024. Are you keeping up with your New Year’s Resolutions? 👀 On another note, the weather is still rather fickle with some days feeling like Spring has come, and other days feeling like it’s still the middle of winter🥶. Nevertheless, it’s always a great time to immerse yourself in various events!
On top of our list for this newsletter is our next JVA event:
No-code workshop: Build a landing page in 1h
Want to make a website for your startup idea, or just looking to explore web design? One might think they’d need some intensive coding skills to do so, but this event proves otherwise! ✨ Japan's Venture Academy (JVA) , Supasaito, and Webflow Tokyo Meetup are collaborating to help non-coders learn how to make a web page using Webflow, a no-code website builder.
Main Event Details 📝
Date: March 24th (Sun)
Time: 1:00 PM - 4:00 PM
Venue: Code Chrysalis Office
Fee: Free
Note: We ask participants to please make a free Webflow account in preparation for the event through https://webflow.com/pricing
Interested in JVA but can’t make it to this workshop? Applications for the Spring 2024 Cohort are open until March 10, 2024! Additionally, core team applications are open indefinitely for those of you who want to work behind the scenes. Check our website for more details!
We hope to see you then!
Now, as promised, here’s a list of upcoming startup events from March 7 - 25!

This applies to design as well; what designers do is different from what we learn from books.
