​What's for dinner

​FAQ

​How much social energy do I need for this?
Social battery needs to be ~60% to enjoy because there is mingling before and after the panel but when you need a breather, we have spaces where you can chill, meditate and when you're ready, float back to the mixer.

​Can I bring a +1?
All attendees must be approved RSVPs on this luma.

​Microsoft for Startups

​Microsoft for Startups is a program designed to support venture-backed founders accelerate their startup journey. The program provides startups founders with a wealth of resources: access to free Azure credits, pre-built templates to help startups build AI applications quickly and efficiently and go-to-market support to uncover leads as startups grow towards product-market fit.

​Antler Residency for Founders

​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.
