Problem:
Japanese developers face language barriers and limited opportunities to participate in the global BIP movement, hindering their visibility, collaboration, and growth.

Target Audience:
Japanese software developers, startups, tech enthusiasts, and international collaborators interested in open development and community building within Japan.
Monetization:
Revenue can be generated via sponsorships, paid premium memberships, event ticket sales, and partnerships with tech companies promoting open-source and developer talent.
Unique Selling Proposition (USP):
First dedicated BIP community in Japan combining local language support, cultural relevance, and exclusive events like hackathons to foster authentic growth and global collaboration.
Launch Strategy:
Start with online weekly Spaces and social media campaigns to build awareness, engage local developers, and gather feedback before launching the first hackathon as a pilot event.
