For startups that already building. Get fast-tracked funding and join our global community of founders, investors, and industry experts to access talent, advisors, expansion support, and capital around the world.
Regardless of the stage of your startup, you will gain access to coaching, network resources, and investor introductions.
Individual founders will build and launch their companies with our support through a ten-week residency. Startups with an existing team of founders will be fast-tracked directly to pitch if ready for fundraising.
You will be surrounded with everything you need to build at lightning speed: a community of diverse founders so that you can connect with other great talents as potential co-founders, get coaching from our team of proven founders and advisors, and validate your business ideas.
Get the opportunity to pitch for an investment of US$125,000 for a 10% equity stake. Invested companies are required to pay a program fee of US$40,000, which is not applicable if you get a direct investment or if you do not receive an investment after the residency.
Join Antler's portfolio for continued support and access to a global capital pathway. Over the next six months, we commit to providing follow-on funding and matching of the amount raised from external institutional investors at 1:2, which sums up to c. $600,000 in early-stage funding from Antler. This way, fast growing companies will receive accelerated backing and progress rapidly from idea stage to securing over $1 million in total capital raised within a span of one year. As a long-term capital partner, we will continue to provide continuous funding of up to $10 million in growth-stage capital at Series A and beyond.
