Investment Thesis
Antler is a global, day-zero investor backing exceptional founders at the pre-seed stage, often before a team or validated idea exists. They are sector-agnostic, investing in defining technology companies across all industries. Their unique model involves running local residency programs that help individuals find co-founders, build their MVP, and secure their first investment, providing an extensive platform and global network from the very beginning of a company's journey.
Manager's Experience
The leadership team, including Founder & CEO Magnus Grimeland, brings extensive experience from entrepreneurship, top-tier consulting, and elite military service. Key figures are co-founders of major tech companies like ZALORA and have held senior roles at firms such as McKinsey & Company. The broader global partner team comprises former operators and investors from leading organizations like Google, Spotify, and Goldman Sachs, providing deep expertise across various technology sectors.
