CTO & Co-Founder

Please Note:

This job does not provide an employment, but rather gives you the opportunity to meet your co-Founder and build your own VC-backed startup!

About the job

We created Antler to unlock the potential of individuals so that you can concentrate all your efforts on building a world-changing company. We thrive to support brilliant and ambitious entrepreneurs, regardless of their background and nationality, to unlock their full potential and work on addressing global challenges. 

When most people think of a "Founder" they automatically think of someone with strong business acumen. However, at Antler, we believe that those who have a strong technical background also make exceptional founders. Hence, we are looking out for a couple of ambitious CTOs to be a part of our strong, domain focused 3rd Cohort kicking off April 4th, 2022.

NOTE: You are also able to apply for this if you have an existing idea that you want to scale/commercialize.
