Our Scouts identify and vet ~80 founders to participate in each residency. These individuals come from varied backgrounds but all have 0-1 skills and demonstrate Founder DNA. Who is an Antler founder? People rarely fit into neat categories, but broadly speaking it is those with the skills relevant to early-stage business building combined with Founder DNA: Returning founders: Tried and tested founders who have valuable experience through successes and/or failures and are ready to build their next venture. Business leaders: Commercial pros with strengths in go-to-market, business model building, and securing customers and capital. Technology and product leaders: Builders with their hands on in the code base, architecting scalable systems, or setting and executing on the product vision and leading teams. SMEs or functional experts: Those with a specialised skill set that unlocks the idea behind a business usually from professional or academic experience. 0 to 1: Seasoned in startups and highly knowledgeable in early-stage through to hypergrowth. Visionaries: Those that have exceptional, unique, and non-conventional backgrounds and see the world differently. Antler has a strong bias toward co-founding teams, with the average consisting of 2.3 founders. We do have examples of solo founders in our portfolio but they are few. Antler believes in co-founders because: As a Day Zero investor, a solo founder represents a significant key person risk to the company. We back complementary, non-overlapping teams. At Antler, we accept founders with and without ideas. We know that in early-stage business building, a lot can change, ideas pivot and business models are adapted, which is why we primarily back the teams ability to execute. Joining Antler gives you access to a vetted talent pool of potential co-founders. However, if you do not find a co-founder in your residency, you are not restricted to the four walls of Antler and we encourage you to do your own external search.
