Our Cohorts of 2022 & 2021

What the Cohorts of NINJA 2022 had to say

CarbonEthics

The event is very enriching! I had the insights from both investor & founder perspective about what to expect and focus on in 2023. And most importantly, it’s such a valuable opportunity to meet the Japanese stakeholders in Jakarta, so I get insights on what to highlight during the Demo Day in Japan.

Bell Society

JICA NINJA Project is an amazing and helpful program for startups! The quality of the accelerator, the sincerity of the mentors, the discussion and the support, and the new connections that they’re trying to build were excellent. It also helped us both with client engagement and investor readiness. Along the way, we have built a great network with other startups and potential partners and collaborators in Japan. The experience gained on the JICA NINJA Project is something I will forever be grateful for!

Surplus Indonesia

I think the JICA NINJA Accelerator Demo Day in Japan is impressive, especially for early-stage startups since it provides networking opportunities that connect us with potential investors, business partners, and other stakeholders that we would not otherwise be able to meet. We hope that this program will be a sustainable one that assists many early-stage startups that need to grow their businesses in Indonesia. As early-stage startups, we really need this Demo Day in Japan because it will help us capture business growth and corporate strategy. Thank you to JICA for providing the opportunity.
