Handing out four-cuts instead of business cards at a Tokyo startup café
At Venture Café Tokyo (CIC Tokyo) we put an iPad mini booth and a photo printer on a demo table and printed on the spot. The whole overseas event kit fit in one carry-on, plus the frame we made that day.
Not a booth build, just one demo table slot
July 9, 2026, Venture Café Tokyo at CIC Tokyo, where founders gather every Thursday night.
One mini booth with an iPad inside, one photo printer next to it. Shoot, and the print comes out right there.
A four-cut instead of a business card
We made the frame in the app that day, with VENTURE CAFÉ TOKYO and the date at the bottom, so whoever took one home had proof they were there.
A card goes into a pocket and that is the end of it. A four-cut stays in the hand and keeps getting shown. We printed extra copies for everyone in the shot.
One suitcase
Everything we took to Tokyo fit in one carry-on: iPad, mini booth, printer, paper. No camera, no lighting, no booth structure.
If you have an event coming up, start by packing the iPad.
