Technical Founder in Residence — Venture-Scale Startup

This is a unique opportunity to build your own venture-scale company with backing from Antler, one of the world's most active early-stage investors. Whether you have an existing product or are an engineer ready to make the leap, Antler provides the capital, network, and residency to accelerate your journey from zero to one.

Why this role is remarkable:

• Receive direct investment of up to £250,000 for your startup, bypassing the standard 18‑month institutional seed round timeline.
• Join a global community with over 120 UK investments and access a network of 100+ active investors introduced to each portfolio company annually.
• Accelerated growth path proven by portfolio successes like Lovable and PKI, scaling from inception to billions in valuation.

What You Will Do:

• Build and ship a venture‑scale product from scratch, acting as a technical lead or solo founder during the initial validation phase.
• Participate in an intensive 8‑week London residency to find co‑founders, validate market demand, and prepare for institutional fundraising.
• Engage with Antler's global investor network to secure subsequent funding rounds and scale your company across six continents.

The ideal candidate:

• Exceptional technical capability with a background as an engineer at a venture‑backed startup (Seed to Series C) or as a former founder.
• A "maniacal" builder who can independently develop end‑to‑end products and has a track record of obsessive pursuit in side projects or sports.
• Forward‑thinking mindset, actively tracking frontier technologies and AI research to identify opportunities for building tomorrow's category‑defining tools.
