Frequently asked questions

Antler is here to maximize your success for the entire life cycle of your company—from being your earliest backer to a long-term capital partner.

Which location should I apply to?

Choosing your preferred Antler location is ultimately up to you, and each startup ecosystem offers unique opportunities.

Keep in mind, you must have the necessary visa documentation to enter and stay in whichever country you apply to.

Can I apply to multiple locations?

While you may be eligible to apply for a number of Antler residency locations due to your visa status, you can only submit one application at a time.

Is this a full-time commitment?

Yes, participation in Antler cohorts is full-time.

We expect all participants to commit to the entire duration of the program. If you are currently in a full-time job, please make the necessary arrangements, or consider taking an extended sabbatical to pursue this journey.

it's crucial that if we decide to invest in your startup, you're fully committed and can build a company full-time. Holding a full-time job while participating in the program is not feasible, as this is not a side project but a full-fledged commitment.

What are the visa requirements for the different Antler locations?

Visa requirements vary according to the relevant local immigration policies. For up-to-date information, check the official immigration website of the country you're applying to. This will ensure you obtain the right visa for participating in an Antler cohort if accepted.
Antler does not provide support with acquiring visas, aside from providing an offer letter, which you may be able to use for visa processing in certain countries.

Start this process early to accommodate application and processing times.

What if I don’t have a business idea?

We welcome aspiring entrepreneurs at different stages of development—whether you’re still in the brainstorming phase, or you’re pitch-ready. Our programs are built to help you find your footing, refine your thoughts, and provide the guidance, resources and network needed to create a successful venture.

Coming in with a clear vision can give you a head start, but what truly matters is your determination, drive, and willingness to learn—whether you have an idea or not!

When will I hear back?

You can check your application’s status at any time by logging onto the Antler portal. We typically aim to respond to candidates within 2–3 weeks, though this timeframe may vary.

In some regions, high application volumes may result in longer processing times. We appreciate your patience as we carefully review each application to ensure the best fit for our cohorts.
