🌟 Kicking off our largest UK cohort yet! 🌟 This week, we welcomed 85+ exceptional founders to our UK Residency, chosen from over 4,700 applicants—with fewer than 2% making the cut. For the next ten weeks, these founders will be laser-focused on building a world-class team around them, validating their ideas, and executing their vision with relentless dedication. Their goal? To create something truly great—and secure the ongoing support and capital to fuel their startup’s journey through to greatness. Adam French and Jed Rose reminded us of the power of focus: ✔️ Build a team that elevates you to new heights. ✔️ Create products that people love and that align with your ambitions. ✔️ Execute every day to turn your vision into reality. This cohort represents the best of the best: • Over 50% are former founders 🚀 • More than 40% bring technical expertise 👩💻👨💻 • And over a third have raised venture capital 💰 We couldn’t be more excited to see what this extraordinary group achieves. Let the journey begin! 💪 #Founders #Startups #Entrepreneurship #DayZero

Check Saskia van den Ende's recap of Antler x Google: Rising Stars 2024 event in Amsterdam, with talks by Jelle Prins (Cradle), Clare Jones), and Sam Koekoek)—that touched upon scaling businesses in the earliest stages.
Last week in Amsterdam, we brought together some of the brightest minds in the startup ecosystem at Antler x Google: Rising Stars 2024. Hosted at Google HQ, this event was a true showcase of the cutting-edge innovation happening across our Benelux portfolio. We had the privilege of hearing insights from Jelle Prins (Co-founder of Cradle), Clare Jones (CEO of Polarsteps), and Sam Koekoek (Co-founder of Klearly), each sharing hard-earned lessons on scaling businesses and breaking new ground. It wasn’t just about the pitches—it was about building connections that have the power to shape the future. With investors, founders, and thought leaders in one room, the opportunities for collaboration were endless. A big thank you to our partners at Google Cloud (Erik Van de Calseijde, Raphael N.) and everyone who made the event such a success. We’re excited to see how these rising stars will continue to push boundaries and lead the next wave of innovation in Europe.
