Empowering Operators to Become Tomorrow’s Founders
Join us on Tuesday, 17th February, for the next Antler Next-Gen event — hosted at Outward VC.
Who is it for?
The Antler Next-Gen community is built for exceptional operators at VC-backed companies who are driven to become founders.
You might not have taken the leap yet, but you have conviction that you will.
We’re looking to build an incredible community of operators across Engineering, Product, Operations, and Commercial functions — typical roles include CTO, Senior Engineer, Head of Product, Chief of Staff, COO, GTM Lead and more.
What is Antler Next-Gen?
Antler Next-Gen brings together ambitious operators with the potential to become the VC-backed founders of the future.
It’s a space to connect with like-minded peers, explore ideas, find potential co-founders, and take early steps toward building a venture-backable business — all before leaving your current role.
For the most exceptional founders, there’s the opportunity to build full-time with Antler, supported by our investment, network, and resources.
