Open, rolling intake As read on 2 November 2026 from the official page.
No deadline is published for the windows listed.
Only what the official site states. Each line links to the page it comes from.
Antler publishes its terms country by country. This page reports the United States page and the Continental Europe page, which are stable between the HTML source and the browser. The UK page contains two different sets of figures for the investment, so none of them is reported here. The France page redirects to the Continental Europe page.
Antler is passed through the 26 questions of the Builder Residency Due-Diligence Checklist. 3 have a public answer, 11 are partly answered and 12 are not published on the pages read. A missing answer is a question to put to the program, not a verdict.
Questions in English follow the open checklist v1.0. Answers are summaries of the linked official page, not quotations.
