About Antler India

Antler India is the Indian arm of Antler, one of the most active early-stage investors in the world, founded in Singapore in 2017 and brought to India in 2020. Based in Bengaluru and part of a global footprint across 27-plus locations, it invests Rs. 2 crore for 9% equity in startups chosen through its residency cohorts.

The residency runs in two phases. First comes co-founder matching and idea validation, where aspiring founders form teams and test concepts; then comes an acceleration track in which funded startups build the traction needed to raise a seed round. Through its maiden $75 million fund, Antler India has backed 80-plus companies across AI, consumer tech, fintech, deep-tech, health, and climate-tech.

Pre-seed founders and aspiring entrepreneurs who may not yet have co-founders or fully formed ideas are the core audience, with technical founders and operators gaining a structured path from idea to seed-stage company through the matching programme. All participants tap Antler's network across 27-plus markets for cross-border expansion. It is online at antler.co.
