Antler is a global early-stage VC enabling and investing in exceptional entrepreneurs. In Sweden, Europe’s most active startup hub, we bring together entrepreneurs from all backgrounds to build the defining companies of tomorrow.
From day one, we provide access to an unrivaled ecosystem and expertise to support exceptional founders in building successful companies. We leverage our massive global dataset on early-stage founder success and provide hands-on support and early-stage funding.
Equal access to funding and opportunities is at the core of what we do. We bring together founders from diverse backgrounds, gender and ethnicities to create the strongest co-founding teams possible - because we know that diverse teams perform better.
In Sweden, 35% of all founders are women and 30+ nationalities are represented.
