👩💼 Who are we looking for?
Note: This ad is not for a job, but rather for the opportunity to find your co-founder and build your own VC-backed startup through a 10-week program with Antler.
- Experts in fintech, global payments, and remittances with experience in cross-border financial infrastructure.
- Entrepreneurs who understand regulatory challenges, foreign exchange mechanisms, and international transaction security.
- Visionaries who can build seamless, cost-effective solutions for global money movement and financial inclusion.
- Leaders with a deep understanding of digital banking, blockchain, or embedded finance to create scalable financial products.
- Self-starters driven to launch and grow a world-class cross-border financing company.
📋 Details of the program:
- The program runs for an initial 10 weeks, full-time in Ho Chi Minh City (Vietnam) and starting in June 2025, where you are required to ideate and find your co-founder(s) from the cohort of 60-70 founders.
- After two months you will present your team and business idea to the Antler Investment Committee. If accepted, you will receive a pre-seed investment of $120K USD for 12% equity, non-negotiable.
- If you get an investment, you will continue to be part of the program for another 3 months during which Antler will work closely with you to accelerate your growth. At the end of this period, Antler arranges a demo day where we invite VCs, institutional investors, and local angel investors to help you connect with investors and raise your seed round.
