Tokyolore

Tokyo Lore Ideas is a platform where people can share their creative concepts, especially those related to Tokyo's culture, people, streets, or economy. It offers a different way to get ideas noticed and potentially funded, unlike traditional methods that might require special connections or media attention. To join, there is a small entry fee.

Benefits

This platform helps validate and potentially fund new ideas. It uses a unique process where each idea gets an AI-generated artifact that represents the concept. Ideas are then scored by AI, judges, and the community. Participants keep full ownership of their ideas, and if an idea becomes successful, Tokyo Lore receives a small percentage of the profits. The scoring system looks at how well the idea fits Tokyo, how practical it is, what the community thinks, and how well it's presented.

Use Cases

Anyone with an idea connected to Tokyo can use this platform. It's for creators, innovators, and entrepreneurs who want to test their concepts and gain recognition. The platform is structured to make the process fair, with different entry levels offering various benefits, from a single city idea submission to multiple city entries with advanced AI analysis and pitch support. There's also a way to enter for free by email, though this option doesn't include the AI artifacts.

Pricing

There are three paid options: 'The Believer' costs $19 for one city idea. 'The Hustler' is $49 and allows for three city ideas, plus an AI pitch deck and community voting features. 'The Founder' costs $99 and includes all 16 city entries, a full AI business analysis, a video pitch, and direct feedback from judges. Entering more cities increases the chances of winning.

Vibes

Submissions become part of the official Tokyo Lore collection. Winners are selected based on a combination of AI scores, community votes, and judge decisions, highlighting smart thinking and quality over chance. The first round has a guaranteed prize of $100, and later rounds share 30% of all entry fees among winners. The first round closes once 100 entries are received.
