I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Antler (London, England) in Sep 2025
Interview
Felt more like they were going through a list of stock questions for a job interview or an idea stage business, even though they said that lots of people coming into the program had already built teams and were post-product/post-revenue. Very odd experience considering we are also pitching to other VCs. Didn't really feel like it was talking to an investor.
The interviewer asked mostly about my hobbies, biggest achievements outside of work, and the biggest risks I've taken (again, non-work related). We didn't spend any time discussing startups, technology or what I've achieved.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Antler (Stockholm, Stockholm)
Interview
I first had an initial call with one of their more junior members where they asked me generic questions about why I'd like to start a company. That was followed by a call with one of their partners where we discussed more in detail how I'd go about building an initial product.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Why do you want to start a company? Why raise with VC? Do you have an idea, if so explain more? Are you committed to your idea? How would you evaluate whether your product/solution is good enough?
