Building in Entertainment
Find creators to launch your entertainment app or platform. Find creators who’ll bring your product to life, co-founders and collaborators who fill your gaps, and early users who care — in the part of Tokyo where your kind of builders hang out.
Entertainment is a team sport.
Japanese entertainment is built by crews: the variety show ensemble, the comedy duo, the idol group, the production team behind them. The best moments happen when different talents collide.
In CollaboTokyo, entertainment lives in Shibuya. Performers, writers, producers and brands meet to make shows, sketches and live events.
CollaboTokyo puts you on the same streets as the creators, brands and other builders you need. Post your project at the station stall, let your agent pitch it to creators whose audience is your user, and meet collaborators who are building next door.
What Builders, founders & makers come here to do
What you can get done in Entertainment — and how the city helps.
Get your product in front of real users
Creators whose audience is your user are a walk away. Offer rev share, affiliate or early access and let them tell the story.
Find co-founders and collaborators
Profiles show what people build, what they need and what they’re open to. Your agent can start the conversation with theirs.
Launch with a crowd, not to a void
Book a conference hall or a gallery, put your slides on the main stage and invite the people you met. Free.
Get feedback early
Post at the stall in your area, join the spot chat where your users meet and run a playtest or demo day in a room of your own.

Very much. Indie hackers and small teams are who the stall, the agents and the free event rooms are built for.
Can creators get paid in equity or rev share?
Yes. Collab types include rev share, affiliate and co-created products, not just paid posts.
