What we’re about
Walking Innovators is a hiking group for entrepreneurs, venture capitalists, local professionals and innovators with a unique format: combine walking/hiking activities with brainstorming, intellectually-stimulating conversations, etc.
Meet other innovators, get advice, bounce ideas, learn something new, make friends, find help and support from your peers - professionals in the same or similar industries - all while hiking and enjoying the nature.
You won't even notice, as you get more fit, improve your posture and get some good workout in the most natural way (just as our ancestors did), while doing their daily chores.
We hope that the fresh air, beautiful nature and interesting conversations with other innovators will inspire us to come up with new ideas, find team/partners, create amazing projects, launch start-ups and maximize our potential in general.
Topics can be suggested for each meetup and we can form interest groups for every hike - anything from technology to management, education, etc.
We can also team up with other meetups and expand our horizons. Feel free to provide your suggestions, new ideas and comments - we look forward to exploring opportunities that this new format presents.
The Walking Innovators group was first started in Silicon Valley (SF Bay Area) in August of 2011 and expanded to Hawaii (Oahu), Los Angeles, Austin (Texas) and Tampa (Florida). Now we are thrilled to connect the entrepreneurs and innovators in Tokyo and surrounding areas - both locals and visitors.
