Program Structure:
The in-person program is structured in two phases and runs full-time:
- Phase 1 runs for ~2.5 months and is focused on venture development and testing a startup hypothesis. Here we surround you with everything you need to build at lightning speed: a community of diverse founders so that you can find the right co-founder, coaching from our team of proven founders and advisors, perks from hundreds of partners and a global network. At the end of this phase, your team will pitch to our Investment Committee. Successful teams will receive pre-seed funding from Antler and move to Phase 2.
- During Phase 2, which runs for ~3.5 months, you will receive personalized coaching from our partners and global network of advisors to help you scale and hire your core team. It culminates with Demo Day, where you will get the opportunity to pitch to local and international investors
Post-Residency Roadmap:
- You enter Phase 3 once you have left stealth mode and your startup is live. Antler becomes a long term partner for your startup and our global network continues supporting you while scaling and growing your startup. We provide capital up to Series C with our Global Access Fund. You also become part of a strong global network of founders who exchange best practices and learn from each other.
