Global Brain has decided to launch the 2nd Batch of "XLIMIT," an accelerator program to support next-generation entrepreneurs. Preliminary briefing sessions for the program will be held on May 22 and June 7, and applications will be accepted from today until July 16.

“XLIMIT” is an accelerator program provided by Global Brain, which has over 200 billion yen in AUM and invested over 100 billion yen in 300+ companies, with the aim of supporting startups below Series A. The 1st Batch started in 2022, and its Demo Day ended in January 2023 after implementing various programs.

This program is at the forefront of helping companies that use cutting-edge technologies to create next-generation platforms, revolutionize existing industries, and solve social problems to achieve their major goals. Continuing from last year, the program will include financial support, support from specialists and active venture capitalists with expertise in areas such as legal, finance, tech, product growth, recruitment, PR, and intellectual property, introducing investors, and sessions with senior entrepreneurs. In addition, this year, we will collaborate with Kyoto University Innovation Capital Co., Ltd. (KYOTO-iCAP) to enhance our support for Deep Tech companies. Through "XLIMIT," Global Brain will further accelerate building the startup ecosystem by supporting the growth of startups below Series A.

We are looking forward to receiving applications from startups that can strongly lead the world and create an unimaginable future
