WELCOME TO ANTLER INSIGHTS

Antler Founder and CEO Magnus Grimeland on the origins of Antler, the rise of global entrepreneurship, and the mission to back outliers everywhere from inception.

The Ten Gates Framework provides a structured way to test problems for venture-scale potential and make clear calls — Proceed, Iterate, Pivot, or Kill.

The three attributes elite founders have in common, how European innovation is fuelled by global talent, and why turbulent times lead to the biggest breakthroughs.... here are some of the main takeaways from speakers including Anton Osika (Founder of Lovable), Marius Meiners (Founder of Peec AI) and Harry Stebbings (Founder of 20VC).

Antler's 14th residency is revealing a new wave of calculated Australian startups. 70 exceptional founders selected from over 2,000 applicants are tackling fundamental problems in healthcare, space, finance, education, and research with AI as a practical tool, not a trendy vibe-coded gimmick.

From serial entrepreneurs to NVIDIA engineers and exited entrepreneurs, these outlier founders are building the infrastructure and solutions that matter long-term, choosing substance over hype in response to a maturing, more risk-averse investment landscape.

From fraud alerts in banking apps to instant driver matches in ride-sharing, real-time data already powers many of the digital experiences we rely on. But its role in AI is even more transformative, and just beginning.
