About Antler
Antler works with founders through our signature founder residency, adding value immediately, and taking no equity up front. Founders have the opportunity to pitch our Investment Committee to receive a $200k investment for 8%, allowing them to build for 12-18 months rather than attempting to raise before they have real traction. If you have any questions, ask our GPs in our next AMA here.
About Databricks
Databricks helps startups accelerate innovation and time-to-market by allowing them to focus on building their core products instead of managing complex data infrastructure. This year, we're excited to announce our new Startup Program which includes $50K in credits, technical advisory, and GTM support.
