Antler – Kasvualusta pohjoismaisille startupeille

Mar 28, 2025

Antler syntyi ratkaisemaan alkuvaiheen startup-yritysten kohtaamaa kriittistä haastetta: miten löytää ja validoida oikea liikeidea, perustajakumppani (co-founder) ja tiimi. Monilla perustajilla on halu luoda yritys, mutta liikeidean validointi ja sopivien henkilöiden kokoaminen voi kestää vuosia. Antlerin perusintressi on tunnistaa ja kehittää sijoituskelpoisia startupeja. Se tarjoaa erityisen residenssiohjelman, jossa kasvuyritysten perustajiksi haluavat voivat löytää sopivan tiimin, validoida liikeideoitaan ja perustaa yrityksen sijoittajan näkökulmasta houkuttelevaksi. Sijoittajalähtöinen lähestymistapa tekee Antlerista ainutlaatuisen toimijan pääomasijoitusmarkkinalla. Mitä ja miten? Antlerin toimintatavan ytimessä on 12 viikkoa kestävä residenssiohjelma, johon rekrytoidaan perustajia ja varhaisessa vaiheessa olevia tiimejä. Ohjelman aikana osallistujat etsivät perustajakumppanin ja tiimin sekä kehittävät ja validoivat ideoitaan tiiviissä yhteistyössä Antlerin asiantuntijaverkoston kanssa. Ohjelman lopussa potentiaalisimmat tiimit saavat sijoituksen ja mahdollisuuden käynnistää yrityksen liiketoiminta. Antler voi sijoittaa näihin yrityksiin alkuvaiheen myös myöhemmillä sijoituskierroksilla Elevate -rahastostaan. Antlerin kilpailuetu pohjautuu sen globaalisti ainutlaatuiseen mittakaavaan ja tehokkaaseen prosessiin. Kolmasosa residenssiin osallistujista saa sijoituksen, mikä varmistaa startup-yritysten korkean laadun ja potentiaalin. Pohjoismaissa Antler tarjoaa mahdollisuuden hakea perustajakumppania myös muista Pohjoismaista, mikä lisää tiimien kansainvälisyyttä, monimuotoisuutta ja osaamista. Kasvu ja kansainvälistyminen Antler perustettiin vuonna 2017 Singaporessa. Sittemmin se on kasvanut globaaliksi verkostoksi, jolla on toimintaa Aasiassa, Euroopassa, Amerikassa ja Afrikassa. Antlerilla on residenssiohjelmat 28 eri kaupungissa maailmanlaajuisesti. Ensimmäisen pohjoismaisen rahaston Antler perusti Tukholmaan vuonna 2019. Toinen, myös Suomeen sijoittava pohjoismainen rahasto aloitti toimintansa 2023. Globaalisti Antlerilla on 15 rahastoa, joista suurin osa keskittyy paikallisiin alkuvaiheen sijoituksiin. Antler on sijoittanut kaikkiaan yli 1 400 kasvuyritykseen eri toimialoilla, ja sen sijoitusten arvo on noin 4,5 miljardia euroa. Tesin rooli Tesi tuli mukaan Antlerin toiseen pohjoismaiseen rahastoon vuonna 2023 osana strategiaansa, jossa kehitetään suomalaista pääomasijoitusmarkkinaa. Tesin sijoitus oli tärkeä, sillä se mahdollisti rahaston laajentumisen Suomeen nykyisessä mittakaavassa. Tesi kehittää suomalaista pääomasijoitusmarkkinaa sijoittamalla pääomasijoitusrahastoihin myös kotimaan rajojen ulkopuolelle. Se sijoittaa erityisesti sellaisiin kansainvälisiin rahastoihin, jotka sijoittavat myös suomalaisiin startup- ja kasvuyrityksiin. Tesi rakentaa kanssasijoittajaverkostoa ja auttaa suomalaisia pääomasijoitusrahastoja löytämään kansainvälisiä rahastosijoittajia. Antler Suomessa Pohjoismaiden toiseen, myös Suomeen sijoittavaan pääomasijoitusrahastoon Antler keräsi 97 miljoona euroa. Samassa yhteydessä yritys perusti toimiston Helsinkiin. Vuonna 2024 Antler järjesti Suomessa kaksi residenssiä, joihin tuli Suomesta 2 100 hakemusta ja joiden kautta se teki 13 sijoitusta. Antler on tehnyt yhden sijoituksen suomalaiseen yritykseen myös residenssiohjelman ulkopuolella. Antlerin tavoite on kasvattaa tulevina vuosina sijoitusportfoliotaan merkittävästi. Antler järjestää residenssejä Suomessa kaksi kertaa vuodessa, keväällä ja syksyllä, samaan aikaan muiden Pohjoismaiden kanssa. Kasvualusta pohjoismaisille startupeille ”Tesin sijoitus rahastoomme oli merkittävä, koska se oli laadun tae muillekin suomalaisille rahastosijoittajille ja pystyimme sen turvin avaamaan toimiston Suomeen ja käynnistämään täällä residenssiohjelmamme.” - Antti Törmänen, partneri, Antler Päivittäin, jos uutta sisältöä on julkaistu Kerran viikossa
