Summary
Antler Japan opens applications for its JPN7 Residency with an online Ask-Me-Anything session held over Thursday lunchtime. The Antler team walks through what the residency is, who it is built for, and what the program offers that other early-stage routes do not, then takes questions from the room. The 55-minute agenda is short: an introduction to Antler and an overview of the current JPN7 program, followed by open Q&A on eligibility, the experience of going through the residency, and how co-founder matching works. Attendees who want to can also stay on to meet the other founders in the session. The organizers note that the session is meant for people aiming to start a company or seriously considering it, and ask investors and ecosystem supporters to sit this one out. Sessions run bilingually in Japanese and English, and joining over lunch is fine.
About the community

The residency draws pre-seed and idea-stage founders in Japan, including people still in full-time jobs who are weighing a jump. These info sessions recur on Thursday lunchtimes for the length of an application cycle, run in Japanese and English, and are aimed squarely at prospective founders rather than investors or ecosystem supporters.
