About the program
We're a global startup generator and early-stage VC firm that builds groundbreaking technology companies. The program is divided in two phases. The first phase is dedicated to finding a co-founder, validating ideas and starting to build your business. The second phase, after Antler investment, is an acceleration track where you will use Antler funding to get enough traction to raise your seed round. Throughout the program we offer office space, a personal mentor from our team as well as presentations with external speakers and connection to our global network.
