Nulab Inc. (Headquarters: Fukuoka City, Fukuoka Prefecture; Representative Director: Masanori Hashimoto; hereinafter "Nulab"), as part of its new business creation program "Nu Source," will co-host a SusHi Tech Tokyo 2026 partner event with OASIS FUND (OASIS FUND Limited Liability Partnership; Headquarters: Shibuya Ward, Tokyo; Representatives: Kazuhide Hashida, Hiroyuki Takahagi) on Tuesday, April 28, 2026.
At this event, focusing on the theme of service development in the AI era, Kazuhide Hashida, representative partner of OASIS FUND and a serial entrepreneur, and Masanori Hashimoto, Nulab CEO and an engineer-turned-executive, will take the stage. They will provide practical insights into launching and scaling services as a business, and offer opportunities for participants to network with one another.
■ Background and Overview
With the remarkable development of AI, the initial phase of service development has become significantly more efficient, and an environment where individuals can launch services is being established.
On the other hand, to continuously grow a service, complex elements such as user understanding, business design, and organizational development are required. Now that the hurdle to launching a service itself has been lowered, there are many cases where people face challenges such as "I have an idea, but I don't know how to grow it into a service" or "I don't see a path to scaling it as a business." Determining the essential value that cannot be replaced by AI and establishing it as a business is perhaps becoming a more difficult challenge for entrepreneurs.
Against this background, Nulab's new business creation program "Nu Source" and OASIS FUND believe that a "partner" is needed to grow an idea into a service. This event was planned as a place for those who aspire to launch services as developers or become entrepreneurs to gain new perspectives and networks, as well as concrete hints for their next actions, through discussions based on the actual experiences of entrepreneurs and investors.
