Antler VC
We work with founders through our signature founder residency, adding value immediately, & taking no equity up front. We receive over 117,000 applications each year to build companies with us, & 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.
