Antler Japan Mixer (EN/JP) @ Kyoto — IVS2026

During IVS2026 week, when Japan's startup ecosystem converges on Kyoto, Antler Japan hosts a small, invitation-style networking evening. The gathering is a closed, intimate event for founders who are building seriously and the early-stage investors and LPs who back them. There are no panels and no pitches. The format is deliberately kept small, centered on good drinks and substantive conversation, so that every person in the room is worth meeting. The event runs bilingually in Japanese and English. The room is curated for founders at or approaching their first funding round and for Japanese LPs, CVCs, corporates, and financial institutions with an appetite for early-stage venture. Participation is limited to founders and institutional investors; consultants, advisors, and support organizations are asked not to apply. Venue details in Kyoto are shared upon confirmed registration.
