The first phase of the program is from January to March. The second phase of the program is from April to early July.
For founders who are in Singapore, we provide a grant of $2,000 per month during Phase 1 of the program. We invest US$100,000 for a 10% equity stake in each company selected by our investment committee.
After the investment, companies are required to pay a program fee of US$40,000 to cover the cost of the program. If you don’t get an investment, you don’t pay any program fee to Antler.
As an Accredited Mentor Partner (AMP), we provide an unrivalled ecosystem and expertise to support founders with their application for the Startup SG founder grant, as well as hands-on coaching in Singapore.
The grant is open to all Singaporeans/Permanent Residents who are first-time entrepreneurs.
