Startup Explanation Media "Startup Love"

TWENTYTWO, Inc. (Headquarters: Shibuya-ku, Tokyo; CEO: Yushi Suzuki) is pleased to announce the launch of "Startup Love," a new media outlet that clearly explains the "now" of the startup industry based on posts and discussions on social media, on June 30, 2026. Amidst the flood of information accompanying the recent revitalization of the startup market, this media outlet analyzes and examines real trends on X (formerly Twitter) from multiple perspectives. With content that allows readers to grasp the industry's atmosphere without specialized knowledge, it aims to serve as a bridge between the industry and society by disseminating "useful information" not only to current industry professionals but also to job-seeking students and those looking to change careers.

Aiming to deliver "topics" in the startup industry in an easy-to-understand manner

In recent years, attention to startups has been growing in Japan, with numerous news items about funding, M&A, and company establishment being released. On the other hand, there are not many media outlets that clearly organize and present what is actually being discussed within the startup industry, what themes are trending on social media, or what entrepreneurs and startup professionals are saying, in a way that is easy for the general public to understand.

While various discussions and trends emerge daily in the startup industry, information is scattered across social media, making it difficult for those outside the industry, and even for industry insiders, to grasp the overall picture.

Against this backdrop, TWENTYTWO, Inc. has launched "Startup Love" with the concept of a "clear and useful startup media outlet."

"Startup Love" makes the startup industry more accessible, starting with topics from social media

At "Startup Love," articles are produced based on posts and discussions that are gaining attention on X (formerly Twitter).

Rather than simply introducing news, we will explain startup industry events from multiple perspectives, such as "Why is this topic trending?" "What are the industry's views on this?" and "What does this mean for people working in the industry and for those seeking employment or career changes?"

By striving for content that can be understood without specialized knowledge, we aim to be a media outlet where even those who have just begun to take an interest in the startup industry can easily gather information.

"Startup Love" Startup Explanation Media

For startup employees, as well as job-seeking students and those looking to change careers

The startup industry is gaining more attention year by year, but many students and working professionals feel they "don't know what kind of companies exist," "the industry's atmosphere is hard to see," or "want to know what kind of people actually work there."

"Startup Love" provides useful information not only to those already working at startup companies but also to students aiming for future employment at startups and business professionals considering startups as their next career move.

We are working to create a media outlet that allows people to feel closer to startups through the industry's atmosphere, which cannot be seen through news alone, and through real discussions taking place on social media.

Future Outlook

"Startup Love" plans to expand its content in the future, not only by introducing trending topics in the startup industry and popular social media posts but also by publishing articles explaining industry trends and special features.

We aim to not only help more people learn about startups but also to become a platform for startup companies to disseminate various information to society.

TWENTYTWO, Inc. will continue to engage in information dissemination that connects the startup industry and society through "Startup Love."
