​Antler VC

​​We work with founders through our signature founder residency, adding value immediately, and taking no equity up front. We receive over 117,000 applications each year to build companies with us, and have grown to 18 funds with residencies in 26 cities around the globe. Founders also have the opportunity to pitch our Investment Committee to receive a $250k investment for 9%, allowing them to build for 12-18 months rather than attempting to raise before they have real traction.
