Pre-Idea Program · ~10-20% equity for $100K-$250K + co-founder matching
B

Good (B) — Cohort Yield Grade

Antler operates a pre-idea founder program — matching individuals into co-founder pairs before company formation. Multi-city footprint (20+ cities including Singapore, NYC, London, Stockholm). Strong on talent-first model. Equity stakes are higher than YC-tier (10-20%) because the program does substantial pre-incorporation work.
