Antler announces the expansion of its presence to MENAP with Dr Jonathan Doerr and Romain Assunção as Partners. The firm aims to strengthen the region’s entrepreneurial ecosystem by backing exceptional founders at the earliest stage with co-founder matching, personalised coaching, access to a local and global network of founders and advisors, MENAP ecosystem expertise, day zero investment, and support with follow-on funding.
Dr Jonathan Doerr, a serial entrepreneur with 3 exits, and Romain Assunção, former Associate Partner at McKinsey, lead the firm's activities in the region. Doerr says: “As an entrepreneur that has exited 3 companies and built businesses in the KSA and the UAE, I would have highly valued a program like Antler that not only puts me in a room of high-calibre potential co-founders but also supports me tangibly on my first steps and introduces me to relevant people within the ecosystem.”
