GO FURTHER, FASTER WITH ANTLER IN BRAZIL

Antler invests in founders through its Residency. Rather than making decisions based on a single pitch, we work alongside founders over time to understand how they think, execute, and build.

As founders make progress, our team continuously evaluates both the company and the founding team. Investment decisions are based on execution, learning velocity, and the potential to build a venture-scale business.

The Antler Residency is a continuous, in-person company-building environment for exceptional founders.

Instead of following a fixed program, founders join the Residency at different stages of their journey and receive support tailored to where they are—from ideation to validation and traction. The focus is simple: helping founders make meaningful progress while becoming part of the Antler community.

We're looking for exceptional people with the ambition to build venture-scale technology companies.

Some founders join with only an idea. Others already have a product, customers, or even revenue. What matters most is the quality of the founder, their ability to execute, and the size of the opportunity they're pursuing.

No.

Many founders join Antler solo. If you're still looking for a co-founder, the Residency gives you access to a highly curated community of exceptional builders. If you already have a team, you'll continue developing your company together.

Founders work from our São Paulo office while building their companies.

Depending on their stage, they participate in tailored sessions, founder discussions, expert AMAs, practical workshops, and one-on-one support from the Antler investment team. As companies evolve, founders move between different stages of the Residency according to their progress.

No.

Joining the Residency does not guarantee an investment. The Residency is where we build conviction by working closely with founders over time.

Companies that demonstrate exceptional execution, ambition, and venture-scale potential may receive an investment from Antler.

Our standard investment package totals R$2 million.

It includes:

R$ 1MM initial commitment

• R$500K convertible note at 8%
• Additional R$500K via uncapped convertible note, with an MFN clause and a 10% discount to the next round

Plus access to up to R$1M in matched co-investment during your first year. 

These are our standard investment terms. In exceptional situations, the investment structure may differ depending on the company's stage and circumstances.

Yes.

The Residency is designed for founders who are fully committed to building their company. While there is no fixed curriculum or graduation date, founders are expected to spend significant time working from the Antler office and actively engaging with the community.

We believe exceptional founders build faster when they're part of a community.

The Residency is built around regular in-person interactions with other founders, the Antler team, operators, and investors. Community events, workshops, AMAs, and informal conversations create connections and insights that are difficult to replicate remotely.

Coaching sessions take place both online and in person, giving founders the flexibility to receive support while staying focused on building their companies.

There is no attendance requirement. However, founders who engage most actively with the community and spend more time at the Residency consistently get the greatest value from the experience.
