Antler has launched our inaugural European annual report. With 102 investments in 2022, Antler is one of the most active early-stage investors in the region. 

We’ve built a portfolio of more than 250 European startups since 2019, and with nine countries across the continent now running residencies for founders and backing early-stage startups, we intend to significantly increase that figure in 2023. 

This report highlights our ambition to create a new generation of early-stage startups in Europe, and our fundamental belief that there has never been a better time to become a tech founder. 

Our European partners also share their predictions for the year ahead and we showcase some of the standout success stories from our European portfolio.

Read the report below—and get in touch with any of our European locations to apply for a residency and join Europe’s early-stage founder opportunity.
