About the Antler Residency

Antler’s investment thesis is that the world’s most exceptional people should be empowered to build the defining companies of tomorrow. Our 10-week Residency is where this thesis comes to life.

Each Residency brings together around 80 entrepreneurs in a shared workspace in downtown Toronto. Over the course of 10 weeks, they are:

• Collaborating daily with one another as they form teams and explore ideas
  
• Participating in structured sessions like workshops, speaker events, and fireside chats with industry leaders
  
• Engaging in 1:1 advisor meetings with Antler partners, directors, and mentors
  
• Working side-by-side with the Antler team, who are constantly in the room mentoring, teaching, leaning in to give feedback, and guiding founders through the process

The Residency is an intensive, high-energy environment where ideas are tested, refined, and pushed forward every day. By the end of the 10 weeks, founders pitch their companies to Antler’s Investment Committee for potential pre-seed investment.
