Announcing the Fall 2024 US Portfolio Showcase

We are excited to introduce the Antler portfolio companies featured in our Fall 2024 US Portfolio Showcase. We work with founders starting from day zero, bringing them in-house to our Residency Programs in Austin and New York. After investment from Antler, our portfolio companies work with the Antler US team to unlock continued growth and prepare to raise subsequent funding. Below is a brief insight into the companies that participated in our Spring 2024 Residency. Today, their stages range from pre-seed to seed: some of these startups are still early and are heads down building, while others already have term sheets on the table. As an investor and partner at the earliest stage, we are proud to showcase the progress of our most recently funded US founders.
