Antler India says its current focus is on artificial-intelligence startups and invites founders to approach the firm directly even when a formal residency cohort is not currently accepting applications.
For qualifying companies, Antler’s standard investment can reach approximately ₹4 crore, or roughly US$425,000–US$470,000 depending on exchange rates, in return for approximately 11% equity.
Building From Day Zero
Unlike many investors that expect significant revenue or a large customer base before they will engage, Antler deliberately invests extremely early.
Its India programs are designed for founders who may still be:
- Developing an idea
- Building an MVP
- Testing with early users
- Pre-launch
- Pre-product
- Pre-revenue
Antler describes itself as a “day zero” investor and says founders do not necessarily need to wait until the next residency cohort to make contact.
What the AI Residency Offers
When the Antler India AI Residency is active, selected teams can receive access to:
- A fast-track investment decision
- Up to ₹4 crore in investment
- More than US$1 million in AI-related startup perks
- Potential access to several million dollars in total partner benefits
- Office hours with Antler partners
- Guidance on product validation
- Go-to-market strategy
- Fund-raising preparation
- Access to other founders and investors
Antler says the next AI Residency will be announced separately, but founders are encouraged to contact the team directly in the meantime.

For digital marketers and creators, the distinction is important.
A conventional marketing agency is unlikely to be the strongest fit.
However, a founder building an AI marketing platform, creator technology product, automated content system, advertising intelligence platform, social-commerce infrastructure or scalable SaaS product may be much more aligned with Antler’s investment model.
