Antler

Global 'day zero' investor backing founders from before the idea stage, across 30+ cities.

Antler is an early-stage venture firm founded in Singapore in 2017 by Magnus Grimeland and Fridtjof Berge, built around a residency model that backs founders from 'day zero' — often before they have a team or an idea. Operating in more than 30 cities, it has made over 1,500 investments, topped PitchBook's most-active-VC league table in 2024, and closed $510 million in new global funds in January 2026. Its residency produced Airalo, which became the eSIM sector's first unicorn in 2025.
