The Role
This role is at the heart of our core investment team in Berlin.
Key Responsibilities
• Find and back outlier founders: actively originate deals through content, marketing, and ecosystem engagement.
• Build Relationships: Build, nurture, and leverage relationships in technical, operator, and founder communities.
• Investment Process: Assess founders/businesses, prepare due diligence, and bring decisions to the Investment Committee (IC).
• Work with Founders: Work alongside founders before and after investment (sparring on validation, building momentum).
• Portfolio Support: Support founders with fundraising, winning customers, partners, and hiring.
• Firm Building: Be an active leader in the core team building Antler in Continental Europe.
Requirements
• Experience: 4+ years of experience in early-stage investing or as a founder/operator who has raised money.
• Technical Background: Strong preference for candidates with full technical backgrounds (software, hardware, research) who have built systems.
• Attributes: Highly independent, commercially grounded, sharp in conversation, and comfortable with ambiguity.
• Tools: Comfortable working with modern tools and automation (e.g., Airtable, Zapier, n8n, Cursor).
Founded on the belief that innovation is the key to building a better future, we partner with people across six continents to launch and scale high-potential startups. With 30+ offices worldwide, Antler deploys meaningful capital at the inception stage and has built a global founder community.
You will identify, select, and invest in founders, and work further with them as portfolio companies through scaling and raising their next rounds. This is a hands‑on, high‑ownership role: fully in‑office, high‑intensity, and not a 9‑to‑5 job.
