Overview

Antler Nairobi is part of the global Antler network, dedicated to supporting early-stage entrepreneurs in Africa. Located in Kenya's capital, Antler Nairobi is uniquely positioned to tap into the rapidly growing tech ecosystem of East Africa, offering a program tailored to individuals with the ambition to build startups that address some of the continent’s most pressing challenges. The program is designed for driven entrepreneurs who may not yet have a co-founder or even a specific business idea but have the potential to create high-impact companies.

Antler Nairobi’s program begins with a rigorous selection process, bringing together individuals with diverse skills and experiences. During the first phase, participants are matched with co-founders and begin developing business ideas. This ideation phase is followed by an intense validation stage, where the newly formed teams work on refining their ideas, testing market viability, and preparing for fundraising. The most promising startups receive pre-seed funding, typically around $100,000, from Antler in exchange for equity.

What makes Antler Nairobi particularly appealing is its strong focus on local market needs combined with access to Antler’s global network of mentors, advisors, and investors. This combination provides a unique advantage for startups looking to scale their solutions not only within Africa but also globally. The program supports a wide range of industries, including fintech, healthtech, agritech, and more, emphasizing innovation that can make a significant impact.
