As an Antler portfolio company you become part of a global community of supportive founders. Here, founders bounce ideas off each other, share battle stories and get help from others who are a few years further down the startup journey. Once you succeed we hope you’ll support those who come after you!

A long-term Partner

At Antler, we want to fundamentally improve the world by building and investing in the defining companies of the next decades. We deeply believe the founding team is the most crucial part of a company. We don't just invest in startup companies, we invest in people.

While we support founders from the get-go, we don't just provide a small investment - we want to be your partner for the long term.

We currently have funds supporting founders up to series C, and as our portfolio evolves, we aim to add later-stage funding, providing venture capital and resources to support you from pre-idea to IPO.
