‼️Q1 Progress Report‼️ But more than that, this is an appreciation post for my incredible Antler team — especially Kaila J. Lim, our head of community and a true superwoman, without whom none of this would be possible. Buckle up, it’s a long one: 💥 We welcomed 200+ founders to our latest U.S. residency: over 70% deeply technical, representing 20+ nationalities — former Olympians, 2/3/4x exited founders, Emmy winners, veterans, PhDs, the NBA 2K world champion. The talent is unreal. 🦄 Our portfolio companies are thriving: Aleksandra Medina, Katrin Kaurov, Indy Sanders, Shashwat M., and Will Betteridge shared their wisdom with new residents; our most recently invested teams have received additional term sheets within months; nero is seeing 5x MoM revenue growth; Synvect was featured in Forbes; SymbyAI raised $2.1M to revolutionize science research; Evaluable AI was acquired by Google; Outbound Aerospace built a literal plane ✈️ — and flew it. The momentum is real. 🎉 We hosted: Tech Carnival with Bulletpitch at SXSW, Bio/Climate/Deep Tech Salon with Nucleate & Newlab, an AAPI Female Founders & Investors Evening with Microsoft for Startups, a workshop with Antler portco Lovable, a fireside chat with Jennifer Fleiss & Rachel Drori (founders of Rent The Runway & Daily Harvest), and even a 24-hour hackathon. The energy is unstoppable. There’s so much more I could highlight, but this exercise is a reminder to pause, reflect, and celebrate what’s achievable when surrounded by ambitious and relentlessly supportive A-players who never drop the ball. Gratitude to Kaila & my work fam. 🙏
