About
Antler calls itself the world's most active early-stage investor and says it backs founders from inception, sometimes before they have a team or an idea. Its About page lists offices in 27 cities but does not name a headquarters, so this page stays at review status and is marked NOINDEX until a headquarters city is sourced.
Antler participated in Affinity Labs' $2 million pre-seed, announced on 2026-10-14, alongside Fuel Ventures and Innovate UK. It is also named on Boxd and Dodge AI.
The PreScalar release, the company post, and BMW i Ventures' post name Antler as a participant in PreScalar's $7 million seed, announced on 2026-10-22. Dynamo Ventures and BMW i Ventures led. None of those sources calls Antler a lead. The About page still lists 27 cities and does not name a headquarters, so this page stays at review status.
