SynchroLife’s 3rd Win Following Double Win at the Plug and Play Japan Batch 1 Expo

In June 2018, SynchroLife was chosen from 674 startups to join the Fintech category of Plug and Play Japan’s Batch 1. During the Plug and Play Japan Batch 1 EXPO (Demo Day), where startups announce their results of the three month program, SynchroLife won the “Plug and Play Japan Award” in the fintech category and was voted number 1 by the audience and won the “EXPO Winner Award” for their pitch.

During the Batch 1 Program, SynchroLife held a proof-of-concept campaign with Tokyu Land Corporation. The campaign allowed diners to earn cryptocurrency rewards cashback for dining and specific restaurants and this was Japan’s first ever campaign of this nature. With the success of this campaign SynchroLife plans to move forward with this technology. They are currently in discussion with five major corporations regarding collaborations and business alliances.
