GIVEN: in most locations Antler pays a monthly stipend or allowance during the co-founder matching residency (a living cost contribution, not a business grant), then makes a pre-seed investment in teams that pass its investment committee. TAKEN: an equity stake in the newly formed company, historically around 10% for a ticket in the USD 100,000-250,000 range depending on the country. Terms differ materially between Antler's 25+ locations and have changed over time - always confirm the stipend, cheque and percentage in the local term sheet before committing.

You must co-fund 0%.
