Overview

Antler US is part of the global Antler network, known for its unique approach to building startups from the ground up. Antler US operates with a mission to back the most driven founders and turn their ideas into successful, scalable businesses. The program is designed for individuals with the ambition to create high-impact companies, even if they do not yet have a co-founder or a fully formed idea.

The Antler US program begins with a rigorous selection process, where successful applicants join a cohort of like-minded entrepreneurs. During the initial phase, participants focus on finding co-founders and developing business ideas. This is followed by a validation phase, where the newly formed teams work intensively on developing their concepts, testing market fit, and preparing for fundraising. The most promising startups receive pre-seed funding, typically around $100,000 to $150,000, in exchange for equity.

One of the standout features of Antler US is its strong support system, which includes access to a global network of mentors, advisors, and investors. This network provides startups with the guidance, resources, and connections needed to succeed, both in the US market and globally. Antler’s commitment to diversity and inclusion is also evident in its US operations, where it actively seeks to support founders from underrepresented backgrounds.

The program is designed to foster innovation across a wide range of industries, from technology and fintech to health tech and sustainability. For entrepreneurs looking to build startups with global potential, Antler US offers a compelling combination of local expertise and global reach.
