Most founders burn $15k to $50k on consultants, or stall before their first customer, because they sequence Japan wrong. In six weeks, three acts, you leave with a validated, sequenced entry plan built on your own product, and the right people lined up to execute it. Not a document that sits in a drawer. The plan you act on.
Each act resolves one of the three things that stall founders. You leave each fortnight with a concrete output, and the program with the whole plan.
This is the right room if:
If Japan is still a hunch, or the commitment is not there yet, start with the $99 webinars or the readiness assessment first. We will tell you honestly.
The program builds your plan. These make it easier to act on, and to start before you have moved a single person to Tokyo.
The part free programs and faceless consultants cannot replicate. Where it is right for you, direct introductions to the specialists, partners, and channels that matter, through a network built over 20 years in the market. Not a list of names. Warm.
Cohort members get access to our working reference for entering Japan: the walls, the visa and capital sequence, how Japan buys, and what is changing. Built and updated from real entries, so the thinking outlasts the six weeks.
You do not need to be in Japan to begin. A practical pack on what you can validate, build, and line up from home, so momentum starts in week one, not after you have committed the ¥30M and bought a plane ticket.
Standard price is $5,997 once established. The founding price holds for the first two cohorts only. Entering Japan wrong costs $15k to $50k in wasted consultants and burned capital, before a single customer. Entering it right opens a market that can rival your home one, on a plan you built rather than guessed. The decisions that get you there are cheap to make now and brutal to retrofit later. This is the cheapest these decisions will ever be.
For funded teams who want the program's outcome built around their specific product, sector, and entry timeline, rather than the cohort calendar. Same operators, same no-equity principle, fully bespoke scope.
A short scoping conversation first, then a tailored engagement: market validation, the entry and sequencing plan, and warm introductions to the right specialists and partners, paced to your move.
Is this only for the Australia to Japan corridor?
No. The program is open to funded founders entering Japan from anywhere. The corridor is where our deepest network sits, but the plan is built on your own business wherever you are based.
Do you take equity or charge referral kickbacks?
No equity, ever. We are not the visa agent, lawyer, or investor. Where we introduce you to a specialist, our guidance is built around what is right for you first.
What is the ¥30M about?
Since October 2025 the Business Manager Visa requires ¥30M in capital. Entry is now a serious-commitment game, which is exactly why a validated, sequenced plan matters before you spend.
Should I do a webinar first?
Most program founders come through the $99 webinars first to test the thinking. If you already know Japan is your next market and want to build the plan, you can start with the program directly.
Not sure if I am ready?
Take the two-minute readiness assessment. It scores your product against the three walls and tells you honestly whether to start with the webinars or the program.
Small founding cohort, founding price for the first two intakes. No equity, no sales call to find out what it costs.
