How the application really works
Apply individually or as a team. Selected founders join the in-person residency; Antler invests only in companies approved by its investment committee.
Tips
- Read the cited current official page before applying because program dates and terms are volatile.
- State fit with the documented stage, geography, and attendance model; do not rely on an aggregator's old terms.
- Ask for the complete investment, fee, and follow-on documents when the public page does not publish them.
Watch out for
- Current page does not publish 2026 deal. A 2025 official article stated A$260k for 12% plus ARC conditional follow-on; obtain current documents before ranking economics.
- The current Australia page confirms open applications and an eight-week format but not a 2026 per-company deal. A$260k for 12% is retained only as a dated 2025 published reference, not represented as guaranteed current terms.
Track record
- Antler reports more than 100 Australian portfolio companies and says more than 80% have raised follow-on funding.
Individual application and selection into residency, followed by a separate investment committee; acceptance rates are not published.
