artics, the interest based real-graph community startup from Japan, has been chosen for support by the "Japan Innovation Campus," the Palo Alto base supported by the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry. This selection marks artics' entry into the Silicon Valley ecosystem and the commencement of a full-scale expansion into the U.S. market.
The social networking platform, "artics" (CEO: Shin Nakatsu), born out of Waseda University, aims to deepen the connection to personal interests. By challenging the existing distribution structure that limits the visibility of works to only a few artists based on rankings and trends, artics envisions a society where more artists and creators can thrive by sharing the emotions of those who engage with their creations. Recognized as the top accelerator globally for IPOs, Techstars, and selected by Plug and Play, artics proudly serves as a content partner for Japan's largest startup conference, "IVS KYOTO2023."
artics plans to leverage this opportunity to the fullest by collaborating with local accelerators, universities, VC firms, and government agencies such as JETRO. The goal is to accelerate innovation, develop a robust business expansion plan, and bring it to fruition.
