Summary

Antler Japan and CircleCI Japan host an evening meetup for founders and aspiring founders on getting ideas to market quickly and reliably. In the speaker session, Makoto Mizukami, Senior Field Engineer at CircleCI Japan, explains why guardrails and classic engineering best practices still let small teams ship products fastest in the AI era, and reviews the latest approaches to software development with LLMs discussed at SF Tech Week 2026. Florian Geier of Antler Japan will also briefly introduce Antler, a global early-stage VC and founder-building platform in 22 countries, and share observations from startups that moved from product launch to fundraising in weeks. The speaker session (17:30 to 18:00) is also streamed online, followed by an hour of networking with founders and startup supporters in Shibuya. Registration is through the CircleCI sign-up page.
