In 2021, we launched the Antler India Fellowship to back students who we believed were going to change the future. 2400+ applications later, we ended up funding 5 founder teams.
And we are back with the 2nd edition of the Antler India Fellowship. We are doubling down on our belief to help the nation’s next great generation of entrepreneurs to break out of their dorm rooms and into the world of entrepreneurship.
| What’s in store for Antler India Fellows |
| $10K, equity free grant |
| The Fellowship is highly selective with 3 in 1000 students making the cut. On selection, they will receive an equity-free grant of $10,000. |
| A personal advisory board |
| Over 3 months, Fellows will be paired with a successful founder in their category of interest and receive one-on-one mentorship. This is so to provide pointed takeaways and avoid generic one-size-fits-all advice. Furthermore, one dedicated Antler leader is assigned to take up questions and help navigate the initial months. Together, the founder-mentor and Antler leader will act as a personal advisory board that Fellows can tap into. |
| Funding to fuel and scale ideas |
| In 4 to 6 months, Fellows will have the opportunity to pitch to the Investment Committee and raise pre-seed capital of $125,000 for 7% equity. |
