Antler U.S. Refugee Accelerator Program
The Refugee Entrepreneurship Program (REP) is an initiative of the Afghan Future Fund, in partnership with Schmidt Futures, Antler, and Classhour, to support aspiring entrepreneurs from a refugee background. This initiative is designed to harness the power of entrepreneurship to empower refugees, offering the tools, knowledge, and resources to drive lasting change in their communities and on a global scale.
We are now accepting applications for our next cohort of extraordinary entrepreneurs. We are partnering with Classhour to offer candidates a four-week online course in entrepreneurship and innovation. Finalists may be selected to participate in a one-week entrepreneurship bootcamp (held in New York, Toronto, and Central Europe) and will be eligible to apply for funding of up to $50,000. The virtual component of the program will run in June. The in-person training for finalists will most likely take place in mid to late August.
