Build your next company with Antler UK
We are the world’s largest early-stage investment platform, enabling exceptional people to build the defining companies of tomorrow.
We help you get further than you thought possible
From day one, we provide an unrivalled ecosystem and expertise to support founders in building successful startups. We leverage our massive global dataset on early-stage founder success to evaluate and support exceptional people.
In the UK, we deliver a three-month cohort focussed on Venture Development, dedicated to helping you find a co-founder then developing and testing a startup hypothesis. At the end of this stage, your team may pitch to our Investment Committee. Successful teams will then enter the Antler portfolio and benefit from Launch, where support focuses on helping you build your product before raising further funds.

We know that diverse teams perform better than homogenous ones
Equal access to funding and opportunities is at the core of what we do. We strive to bring together founders from diverse backgrounds, gender and ethnicities to create the strongest co-founding teams possible. This is just the start of our journey and we are working on continuously improving our numbers.
