Two strangers talked to an AI. Now they're co-founders of a VC-backed company.\n\nI know. A bit Black Mirror. But it happened last month, through Jack.\n\nMichael Hurley wanted to build, not spend six months job hunting. Fair enough. So he talked to Jack, who introduced him to Antler's Founder Residency within a couple of days. A program Michael didn't know existed.\n\nHis co-founder, Charlie? Found Antler exactly the same way. Two people who had never met, both talking to Jack, both ending up in the same room. Now they're building https://t.co/hcFvf7iMLh together in London, VC-backed.\n\n@AntlerGlobal is now recruiting from Jack's network in London and San Francisco. £210,000 at day zero - no idea, no co-founder, no company required. Up to £500k more within nine months, from the VC behind @Lovable, @peec_ai and Airalo.\n\nTalk to Jack for free. If Antler likes what they see, they'll come to you via Jill.
