Antler Europe ONE flagship €30M (outliers)

Antler is a global early-stage venture firm with cohorts in more than 25 cities. Its Europe track is a flagship pre-seed equity program for Europe-based founders building deep-tech companies. The record places the initial check at €200,000, with up to €300,000 more available, and frames the track as an early company route rather than later-stage capital. The program is limited to for-profit companies, excludes nonprofits and individuals, and sits at TRL 1 to 3. It is equity-based, not non-dilutive, and the record notes that the same funding cannot be stacked at the same time. That makes the track suitable for founders who want institutional backing while the company is still being shaped around the technical core. Antler's fit is strongest where a small team can move quickly from concept into company formation and use the initial capital to reach a more de-risked pre-seed position. The Europe track is broad across deep tech rather than tied to one narrow sector, so the main filter is founder quality and technical ambition. For Europe-based teams looking for a first institutional check, it is one of Antler's most direct entry points.
