Antler Nordics has rolled out updated investment terms for early-stage founders in Helsinki, Stockholm, Oslo, and Copenhagen, doubling its initial pre-seed investment to €200,000. The move follows the close of its second €100 million Nordic fund and is aimed at giving founders longer runway and faster commercial traction from the outset.
Under the new structure, startups receive €200,000 immediately upon a positive investment decision — split into €100,000 for 8.5% equity and €100,000 on an uncapped SAFE with a Most Favored Nation (MFN) clause. An additional €300,000 in follow-on funding is pre-committed, bringing the total pre-seed commitment to €500,000 per company.
Antler’s 8-week in-person residencies across the Nordic capitals continue to focus on product development, customer traction, and investor readiness. Founders work directly with local Antler Partners and benefit from weekly one-on-one mentorship and access to over $4 million in perks ranging from AI infrastructure to fintech tools.
Antler is an early-stage venture capital firm that invests at the pre-seed level and supports founders from the earliest stages of company formation. In the Nordics, Antler has made over 200 investments since 2019, backing companies such as Lovable, PerPlant, QMill, and Telgea. Its model combines local residency programs with immediate capital and hands-on support, aiming to accelerate the development of high-potential startups across the region.
