Portfolio company Antler reported that 2,600 individuals from over 30 different nationalities applied for this London-based cohort, a 50% rise from the previous year. After conducting 440 face-to-face interviews, 71 founders were selected for the program, half of whom had previously launched a startup. Just over half of the companies that raised money (four out of seven) have at least one woman founder, which the VC points out is above the London average of 21%.
