Antler talks to high-performance neuroscientist Dr David Spindler about what it really takes to perform at the highest level, how to establish a winning mindset and how to keep going in the face of adversity.

What a truly streaming-first architecture looks like, and the implications for infrastructure, developer workflows, and AI-native applications.

A persistent grey space exists for today’s systems, which struggle with the simplicity vs customizability tradeoff. We explore why these tradeoffs exist from an architectural perspective, and a look at modern attempts to unlock the frontier of scalable, real-time data.

In another life, Vivek Sodera could have been building nuclear reactors. Instead, he caught the entrepreneurship bug, going on to build not one, but two iconic companies: LiveRamp and Superhuman.

Christoph Klink, Antler partner for Central Europe, joined Bede Moore to discuss the perception and reality of the European tech ecosystem. Can the region that spawned Lovable really be thought of as lagging behind the rest of the world?

Jenny Fleiss, founder of Rent the Runway joined host Jeff Becker to discuss her journey to success, lessons she’s learnt along the way and what it is like to return to the world of entrepreneurship – this time, as an investor. 

What does it take to be the world’s best, and to stay there? At Antler’s European Founder Conference, we assembled four elite performers to explore how sustained excellence is built, led, and lived.

Ash Fontana and host Bede Moore discuss how we can conceptualise the dramatic shifts happening in business, tech and culture – learning to apply new tools and new ways of thinking, and exactly what it means to start a company in the “AI-First Century.” 

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

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 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.
