Meeting Area

Where connections become conversations.

Saw a startup pitch that caught your attention? Met a founder at a demo booth you want to talk to further? The Meeting Area is your private space to make it happen.

Here's what you can do:

• 1-on-1 with investors – If you're a startup, this is where you turn initial interest into real funding conversations.
• Founder-to-founder collaboration – Explore partnership opportunities, share insights, or simply connect with peers building in your space.
• Customer discovery – Engage with potential clients who want to learn more about your solution beyond the booth.

How it works: Use our matchmaking system on Brella. Set your interests, browse suggested matches, and book your meeting slots. Simple as that.

Brella is your matchmaking tool for Takeoff Tokyo—think of it as LinkedIn meets calendar booking, built specifically for this event.

• Meet at the Meeting Area – Once confirmed, head to the designated space and turn that digital connection into a real conversation.
