me:rise Tachikawa, a coworking space and incubation office operated by AGORA Inc. (Headquarters: Machida City, Tokyo; Representative: Nobuki Hasebe) under consignment from Tama Shinkin Bank since February 2023, will host an exchange event "Tama no Marumaru wo Shiru Kai ~ Tama no Kensaku-chan Edition ~" on Wednesday, July 29, 2026, inviting guests active in the Tama region.

Focusing on the "process" to reach their current position, not just the "current position" of active individuals.

The "Tama no Marumaru wo Shiru Kai" series focuses on hearing stories from various guests.

The commonality is that they are "people active in the Tama region."

This event will feature "Tama no Kensaku-chan," a marketer specializing in the Tama region who continues to promote its charms, as a guest, creating a space for learning and exchange for those who want to work hard, start businesses, or expand their communities in the Tama region.

The theme is "Regional Revitalization x SNS."

While SNS communication, side jobs, and freelance work are becoming more widespread,

there are also challenges such as:

"Not knowing where to start"

"Lacking close role models"

"Few opportunities to hear real stories from people who are taking on challenges."

We will ask about:

- Why they started posting

- The process from posting to it leading to work

- Their future aspirations

By sharing real experiences, including trial and error and failures, not just success stories,

it will encourage those who are about to take on challenges.

Moving from "a place to see amazing people" to "a place where challengers are born."

To date, "Tama no Marumaru wo Shiru Kai" has been held 10 times, inviting business owners and managers active in the Tama region to delve into the background and aspirations of their activities.

Participants have provided feedback such as:

"I was able to connect with people active in the region."

"I gained hints for starting a business or a side job."

"It led to new work and collaborations."

"I've made more friends who connect in the Tama region."

Starting this time, the capacity will be expanded to 30 people, and an exchange session will be held.

By providing opportunities for direct interaction between the speaker, participants, and among participants, it will develop into a place for freelancers, sole proprietors, and those preparing to start businesses active in the Tama region to connect.

Community building possible at a coworking space

me:rise Tachikawa is not just a coworking space that provides a place to work.

It operates as a community space where diverse people, including entrepreneurs, sole proprietors, company employees, and side job practitioners, gather, learn, and interact.

It is a place where the process of challenges is shared and new challengers are born, rather than a place to simply observe successful people.

Furthermore, it supports "interaction between people working hard in the same region" beyond business, and aims to be a third place for those based in the Tama region in the future.
