How to apply

  1. 1

    Submit the Antler application form

    Apply at antler.co/apply, selecting Europe and then Stockholm. Name, email and stage are required; LinkedIn, a company description, a website and a pitch deck are optional.

  2. 2

    Pitch what you are building

    Antler asks for the short version of what you are building. Founders already shipping to customers are preferred.

  3. 3

    Get a fast decision

    Antler states: "We bring founders in as they come. We move fast, whether it is a yes or a no." Applications are reviewed on an ongoing basis rather than against a cohort deadline.

  4. 4

    Take the investment and keep building

    On investment, EUR 200K is wired, of which EUR 100K converts into 8.5% ownership and EUR 100K sits on an uncapped convertible with an MFN clause. Up to EUR 300K of follow-on comes in the next round.

Frequently asked

The standard deal is EUR 500K to EUR 1M. EUR 200K is paid upfront: EUR 100K for 8.5% equity and EUR 100K on an uncapped convertible note with a Most Favored Nation clause. Up to EUR 300K of follow-on capital comes in the next round, and Antler has capacity to keep backing companies through Series C.

Any time. Sweden is a rolling intake location. Antler states these locations work with founders and teams year-round instead of running fixed residency programs, and applications are reviewed on an ongoing basis.

No. Antler’s cohort start dates page lists Denmark, Finland, Sweden and Norway (Copenhagen, Helsinki, Stockholm and Oslo) under rolling intake rather than a fixed start date, so there is no cohort to wait for and no deadline to meet.

Founders already building. You do not need an incorporated company, a co-founder or a finished product, and solo operators are accepted. Antler excludes drugs, narcotics, adult entertainment and gambling.

From any of the four Nordic hubs: Stockholm, Oslo, Copenhagen or Helsinki. This entry covers Stockholm.
