Antler Amsterdam is part of the global Antler network, renowned for its unique approach to startup creation. Situated in one of Europe’s most vibrant and innovative cities, Antler Amsterdam is designed to empower talented individuals with the ambition to build groundbreaking startups from the ground up. The program is ideal for aspiring entrepreneurs who may not yet have a co-founder or a fully formed business idea but possess the drive and potential to create something impactful.

The Antler Amsterdam program begins with a rigorous selection process where individuals are chosen based on their skills, experience, and entrepreneurial potential. The first phase of the program focuses on team formation and ideation, where participants are matched with potential co-founders and begin brainstorming innovative business concepts.

Successful teams can receive pre-seed funding of approximately €100,000 from Antler in exchange for equity.

What sets Antler Amsterdam apart is its deep integration into the local and global startup ecosystems.
