Antler, a global venture capital firm investing in early-stage startups, has expanded its presence in Australia by investing in 18 new startups. These investments were made over the last five months and have increased Antler’s portfolio to over 60 early-stage startups in Sydney and Melbourne. Antler aims to become one of Australia’s most active Pre-Seed to Seed venture capitalists and plans to make over 100 investments from its AU$46m Fund 1.
These new startups will be added to Antler’s proprietary Investor Platform, allowing them to raise additional capital and build relationships with highly engaged investors. Antler’s upcoming Portfolio Reveal on December 1 will provide an opportunity for the public to meet the founders of these companies.
Antler’s Partners, Bede Moore, Anthony Millet, and Laura Faulconer, have shared some insights into these companies, the opportunities they offer, and why they believe these startups will be the defining companies of tomorrow.
