Investment thesis

Antler backs founders at inception, often pre-team, pre-product, or pre-revenue, positioning itself as the first investor rather than an accelerator or incubator. In Australia it runs a twice-yearly 8-week residency supporting co-founder matching, idea validation, and business building, then invests at pre-seed. The firm is business model and industry agnostic, with an Australian portfolio spanning enterprise SaaS, fintech, insurtech, healthtech, deeptech, and consumer. It provides follow-on funding programmatically up to Series A from the local fund and up to Series C via the US$280M Antler Elevate fund, alongside a global network of founders, mentors, and investors across 30 locations worldwide.
