Antler Sweden

Overview

Antler Sweden is a branch of the global venture capital firm Antler, focusing on early-stage investments in Sweden. The firm partners with exceptional founders to build and scale startups from the very beginning, offering support from pre-team or even pre-idea stages. Antler Sweden provides a comprehensive program that includes co-founder matching, coaching, and early-stage investment support, aiming to help entrepreneurs develop their ideas and launch successful businesses. The investment strategy involves an initial commitment of €200,000 upfront, comprising €100,000 for 8.5% equity and €100,000 on an uncapped SAFE or convertible note. Additionally, Antler Sweden pre-commits €300,000 of matching funds into the first funding rounds, totaling €500,000. The firm continues to invest in follow-on rounds up to €30 million, supporting portfolio companies through various stages of growth. Antler Sweden's residency program is a 10-week building sprint that enables founders to accomplish in weeks what typically takes months. Each week, participants set high-impact goals and focus on core priorities, leveraging the community, coaching, and resources to drive progress. The program includes group events, office hours, and networking opportunities, culminating in a pitch to Antler's Investment Committee for potential funding.
