Antler Japan Mixer

At Kyoto - IVS2026

Organized by: Antler

📅 Thursday, July 2 | 6:00–8:00 PM
📍 Kyoto (venue details shared upon registration)

​IVS week brings the best of Japan's startup ecosystem to Kyoto — and we're carving out an evening for the conversations that actually matter.

​Antler Japan Mixer is an intimate, curated gathering for founders who are building seriously and the investors who back them. Think good drinks, real talk, and the kind of room where a two-minute conversation can change your trajectory.

​This is a bilingual (EN/JP) event — no translation needed, no awkward gaps.

​Who's in the room:

• ​Founders at or approaching their first funding round

• ​Japanese LPs with an appetite for early-stage venture

• ​The Antler Japan team

​Seats are strictly limited. We keep it small on purpose — so every person you meet is worth meeting.

​No panels. No pitches. No filler. Just the right people in the right room.

​Participation is limited to founders and institutional investors/LPs. We respectfully ask that consultants, advisors, and support organizations refrain from applying.
