News Summary

Antler Canada, a division of the global venture capital firm Antler, has appointed Tammer Kamel, co-founder and former CEO of Quandl, as its new general partner. Kamel joins to co-lead Antler Canada’s second fund along with Bernie Li and Shambhavi Mishra. Kamel’s experience with Quandl, a Toronto-based FinTech startup acquired by Nasdaq, positions him to support other Canadian founders in developing B2B software-as-a-service, FinTech, and marketplace solutions. Antler Canada aims to wrap up its first fund by the end of 2025 and plans to launch a larger second fund in 2026. This expansion may also see the firm expand its reach beyond Toronto. Antler Canada has already invested in 36 startups and intends to fund an additional 15 before launching Fund II.
