Editorial Perspective
Antler is a global pre-seed platform that builds companies from scratch through residency programmes—London is a core hub. They invest ~£120K per company at formation stage. PropTech and ConTech startups have emerged from their UK cohorts (FixoAI in PropTech, plus construction-adjacent companies). Their model is unique: founders join without a company and are matched during the residency. Best fit for technical founders or domain experts who want co-founder matching and day-zero capital. Not for founders with existing products seeking growth capital. The cheque is tiny but the co-founder network and global platform (1,491 companies across 30+ locations) provide outsized early-stage value.

Fractional Chief Commercial Officer
I specialize in taking founder-led commercial engines apart until only the parts that work are left standing. Before advising, I operated-scaling a business from zero to the FT1000 list three years running and facilitating 10 billion DKK in property transactions. I don't write polite advisory decks; I give you the exact commercial reality check you need before an investment committee does it for you.
