​What is Antler Next-Gen?

​Antler is building a community of operators who have the conviction and potential to become the VC-backed Founders of the future.

​By being part of the Antler Next-Gen community, members will have access to a network of like-minded operators who share a common drive to start their own company. ANG opens up a community where members can connect, start exploring ideas, find a co-founder, and take the first steps to building a VC-backable business before quitting their day jobs.

​For the most exceptional founders there is the opportunity to start building with Antler, making the transition to full-time entrepreneurship with the support of Antler’s investment and resources.

​

​Who is it for?

​The Antler Next-Gen community is designed for exceptional operators with experience at VC-backed companies (Series A - C).
