- 2
Submit the short application form
Give first name, last name and email, optionally your LinkedIn, and select the stage you are at. Choose Idea to Pre-Seed for the residency.
- 3
Add company details if you have them
A company description, a website and a pitch deck of up to 10MB are all optional, so a founder still looking for a co-founder can apply.
- 4
Apply early rather than waiting for a deadline
Antler publishes cohort start dates rather than application deadlines and tells applicants that places go fast, so applying well before the September start is the practical route in.
- 5
Wait for the Antler team
Antler confirms the application is with its team and replies by email if there is a fit.
