Overview
Antler invests at day zero — running residencies in dozens of cities across six continents where it matches co-founders, pressure-tests ideas and writes the first check into the companies that emerge. Founded in Singapore in 2017, it is now one of the world's most active early-stage investors, and its residencies surface pre-seed companies months before they would otherwise exist on anyone's radar.
