About Antler

Antler backs the world’s most ambitious founders from the very start. Founded on the belief that innovation is the key to building a better future, we partner with people across six continents to launch and scale high-potential startups that address meaningful opportunities and challenges. Knowing that exceptional founders can come from anywhere with any background, we have offices in 30 cities, including New York, London, Berlin, Stockholm, Bangalore, Singapore, Seoul, and Sydney.

Our global community supports founders on deep business model validation, initial capital, expansion support, and follow-on funding. Fueled by a personal passion that goes beyond traditional investing, we have helped create and invested in more than 1,500 startups across a wide range of industries and technologies.

A better future won’t happen automatically—the world needs talented, determined, and resilient people to build it. Antler team members are part of an ambitious global community dedicated to helping the most driven founders move the world forward

The Role

As an Associate in Antler’s Elevate Global Fund, you will work closely with senior members of the investment team to source, evaluate, and support high-potential startups across pre-Series A to Series C stages.

This is a hands-on role suited for individuals who are intellectually curious, commercially sharp, and excited to work at the intersection of technology, business, and entrepreneurship

• Strong analytical and structured thinker, comfortable working across both business and technical topics

• Familiarity with financial modeling, cohort analysis, product/technical evaluation
• Curious about technology, startups, and how new products create commercial and societal impact
• Self-driven, organised, and able to manage multiple workstreams independently
