Hype Goes Antler

This October, I’m taking Hype to Riyadh for Antler’s Residency Program. It’s one of the top places in the world for early-stage founders to meet co-founders, build, and pitch for funding. For me, it’s a huge step forward, not just for Hype, but for the bigger vision of what I’m building.

What Antler Is About

If you don’t already know, Antler is a global VC and startup generator. Their Residency Program brings together ambitious founders from all kinds of backgrounds, matches them with potential co-founders, and gives them the tools to build something scalable. It’s also a shot at pitching for up to $500,000 in funding, the kind of backing that can turn an early-stage startup into a global company.

Why I’m Joining

I built Hype to help people connect and experience life in ways that actually matter. But building something this big is never a solo journey. At Antler, I’m looking to:

• Find a co-founder who’s just as obsessed with this mission as I am.
• Work with top mentors and investors who can challenge and push Hype to the next level.
• Sharpen the product and vision, so Hype isn’t just big here, it’s global.
• And yeah, go for that $500,000 pitch, because scaling a platform like this needs serious fuel.
  
  

What’s Next

The Garage @ Riyadh, where the residency will be mostly taking place

This residency is going to be intense, new people, new ideas, constant building. I’ll be sharing updates as things happen: the highs, the struggles, and hopefully, the breakthroughs. If I meet the right co-founder, or if we get closer to securing funding, you’ll know right away.

Closing Thoughts

Hype going to Antler isn’t just a milestone for me but a chance to push this vision way further than I could alone. October is the start of a new chapter, and I’m excited to see where it leads.

Stay tuned—big things ahead.
