What’s this? An arbitrage for the good of both worlds.
Corporates have vast amount of human resources, but lack dynamic culture.
We help startups take advantage of skilled corporate human resources.
Startups have the culture of diversity, purpose, creativity, and speed.
We help corporates benefit from your resource to empower their talents.
We give you development power. You give us training content.
The talents are engineers, data scientists, business developers, material
scientists and other experts from Japanese corporates.
In a team of 3-4, they will work remotely on development tasks without charge.
You help them improve their communication skills and learn agile development.
The value we receive from you is talent growth.

How it works. Daily morning video conferencing
• Trainees in Japan should be involved in a video conference session on a daily
basis, ideally starting from 9:00 for an hour (Japan time is +7hours)
• 1 English language instructor and 1 bistream mentoring staff attend the
sessions to monitor language performance and skill growth of the trainees
• Trainees receive feedback from language instructor and bistream staff
immediately after the video session
• Trainees work on the task as a team and deliver results till early morning next
day (European time) - and the loop starts again from top.

What could follow next?
• If the cooperation proves successful, we can match another remote team from
either the same company or another one with your startup for another round of
the Online Dojo.
• If the Online Dojo proves successful and growth effects are proven, there is a
chance that our trainees want to to participate in a „real“ (offline) Startup Dojo
with your company when travel to Europe from Japan is allowed again.

We’ve proven it works offline. The testimonials.
“The Startup-Dojo is a great exchange program where professionals from Japan
enlighten you and your company with their knowledge and culture. The trainee played
an important role and was a key element in our expansion to Japan. His technical and
business skills not only helped in hardware but also in Business Development in
Infarm. I would love to see more of this coming to Berlin and potentially to Infarm as
well in future.“

We’ve proven it works offline. The testimonials.
“We genuinely enjoyed having A.K. joining our Xibit team in Berlin as part of the Startup-Dojo
program. Her software development passion and sharp analytical thinking have added a huge
value to our mixed reality software product.
This wouldn't have been a great success without the support of the amazing bistream.
We believe that having an international team is a key element to build a company that is
innovative and global. This program fits perfectly the culture we have at Xibit, bringing not only
international talents but TOP international talents.“
Zakaria Jaiathe
Co-founder and CEO of Xibit
