RESIDENCY FAQs

Choosing your preferred Antler location is ultimately up to you. Our advice is to join the location closest to where you want to build your company and establish yourself as a founder.

No matter where you start, once we invest, you can leverage the full power of Antler’s global platform. Keep in mind, you must have the necessary visa documentation to enter and stay in whichever country you apply to.

While you may be eligible to apply for a number of Antler residency locations due to your visa status, you can only submit one application at a time.

Building a generational company requires 100% of your time and focus. It does not work alongside a full-time job, a university degree, another company, or freelance commitments on the side.

As a result, Antler will only select founders who go all-in.

Visa requirements vary according to the relevant local immigration policies. For up-to-date information, check the official immigration website of the country you’re applying to. This will ensure you obtain the right visa for working with Antler, on building your company.

Antler does not provide support with acquiring visas, aside from providing an offer letter, which you may be able to use for visa processing in certain countries. Start this process early to accommodate application and processing times.

Antler works with founders from inception. Most founders we work with have a concrete idea, and many have products or early revenue. Some are at earlier stages of ideation.

What matters most is not where you are, but who you are - Antler’s selection focuses on the outlier potential of the founder and the trajectory they’re on.
