Ehsan's Market Analysis

Tokyo stands out as a climate technology hub with 4,200+ active startups. The city's tech talent score of 90/100 provides a strong foundation, though average salaries of $95K affect unit economics for early-stage companies. My advice for companies entering this market: find the 2-3 local community anchors, build relationships with key angel investors, and test product-market fit with a focused ICP before scaling.
