The next London intake begins on 22 September 2026. Cohorts start on a rolling basis rather than once a year, so the wait for the following one is measured in months.
Antler UK takes individuals at day zero. The ten weeks are spent finding a co-founder and testing a company thesis, which means applicants are expected to arrive with neither settled. A team already trading is the wrong shape for it.
An investment decision follows the residency. The first cheque is approximately GBP 100,000 and is bought with equity, on terms that vary by fund.
What it actually costs you
London founders without a co-founder or a settled idea are the intended entrants to Antler UK, a ten-week pre-seed residency built around finding a partner and testing a company thesis. An investment decision follows, with a first cheque of approximately GBP 100,000 taken in exchange for equity on terms that vary by fund. New cohorts start on a rolling basis in London.
