Starting the very first team in Japan

Hello, I've been working on starting a new team for the first time in Japan right now.

I've participated in FRC once in 2011 in Canada. I came back to Japan 2 years ago and now I'm trying to make a new team. But I find this quite hard... I'm just a secondary school student :/

I only got 8 people in my team and one sponsor who'll give us $10,000 (but we need at least $25000!) I'm trying to persuade companies to sponsor us but it's not working that well. How can I get them interested in FRC and be a sponsor? What kind of companies should I go for?

I know it's like a dream to have a team in Japan, but I'm thinking, if I didn't make a team right now then no one will ever do it.
