Apply to Antler | The World's Day Zero Investor
Applications are now open for the March 2026 cohort (Lagos) 🦄
We’re looking for builders. Operators. Domain natives.
People who’ve seen a real problem up close and can’t ignore it !
Antler backs founders from inception. Before the pitch deck polish. Before the hype.
We invest in solo founders and early teams with the judgement, grit, and velocity to build companies that actually matter.
What we’re looking for:
Founders with deep, lived insight into a real problem
Operators who can move from zero → momentum fast
Builders who choose execution over storytelling
People committed to building in Africa, at scale, for the long haul
What the residency offers:
A founder stipend during the 10-week residency, so selected teams can focus fully on building
Access to $400k+ in tools, credits, and infrastructure to move faster
An in-person, high-intensity build phase that pressure-tests both founder and idea
Apply now → lnkd.in/g733SxyT
