FinT (Headquarters: Shibuya-ku, Tokyo; CEO: Yui Otsuki) is pleased to announce its selection for the second cohort of the 'Japan Inclusive Ventures Lab (JIVL),' a startup support program operated by Mitsubishi UFJ Morgan Stanley Securities. The company participated in Demo Days held at Morgan Stanley's headquarters in New York and at Potluck Yaesu in Tokyo.

JIVL was launched in March 2024 by Mitsubishi UFJ Morgan Stanley Securities. Leveraging 'Morgan Stanley Inclusive & Sustainable Ventures,' a program by the strategic partner of Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group, it supports business development for Japanese startups founded by women and entrepreneurs from diverse backgrounds.

Since establishing its Vietnam subsidiary in May 2023, FinT has been actively expanding into the ASEAN market. By applying the SNS marketing expertise gained from supporting over 400 domestic companies, FinT is growing through a model that also imports overseas trends, such as TikTok Shop, back to Japan. The company was selected for JIVL under the theme of 'Supporting the global expansion of Japanese companies through corporate SNS solutions.'

CEO Yui Otsuki stated, 'I want to unleash the potential of Japanese craftsmanship and brands through the power of marketing.' She expressed her commitment to utilizing the network gained through JIVL to expand the expertise developed in Japan and ASEAN globally. A documentary video following her trip to New York is currently available on the official YouTube channel, 'FinTube.'
