Antler Demo Day is the culminating event of a six-month program where Antler's portfolio companies will take centre stage to showcase the phenomenal businesses they have created.

It's a chance for the founders to market their MVP, identify new customers, but most importantly, secure external seed investment from attending local and international investors.

It will be unlike any other Demo Day you have been to before because Antler is unlike any other program in Australia.

More than 1,000 people applied to the Antler program. Only 3% of those people secured Antler's endorsement and funding. Now, we're proud to reveal to you the companies we have invested more than $1 million in.

These startups span industry and sector, including:

• FinTech
• InsurTech
• Deep Tech
• MedTech
• GreenTech
• and more

The founders are experts in their field, coming from a range of technical and commercial backgrounds, for example founders include:

• Former CTO of McAfee APAC
• Former Director of Product at Cabify (Spain's first tech unicorn)
• Former IBM Researcher, previously worked on Australia's first bionic eye

As you will see below, the startup pitches are just a portion of the event. There will also be an expo hall, bookable mentoring sessions, and a keynote speaker.

ABOUT ANTLER

Antler is a global startup generator and early-stage venture capital company. We bring exceptional individuals together from across the globe to help them build startups that will go to form great tech companies.

Antler helps entrepreneurs find the right co-founder and connects them to a top tier network of more than 350 advisors and experts worldwide.

We also provide funding from day one to support founders in building businesses that can positively impact local, regional and global economies.

To date, Antler operates in eight cities in five continents across the world with plans to launch many new locations in 2020.

This first Sydney program was launched in June this year with 70 exceptional individuals accepted from the more than 1,000 applicants. Over the first two months of the six-month program, these individuals formed 31 teams. Antler then invested $100,000 in pre-seed funding in almost half of these businesses, which have become the first series of Antler portfolio companies to come out of Sydney.
