About this episode

Last week, Antler US portfolio company Cedar announced that it closed a $3 million seed round led by Caffeinated Capital, with participation from Tishman Speyer Ventures and a number of prominent individual investors (full Forbes feature here). 

Cedar is building an operating system for urban development. As an early investor, Antler worked with Kyle, Rahul, and Nate as they experimented and fought to crack open a wedge into this market. The Cedar team is ambitious and tenacious; we are honored to partner with them on this journey as they build the future of urban infill development starting in our own backyard of Austin, TX. Listen to the full episode to learn more about how Cedar's tools will help builders, developers, and the broader real estate community tackle the urban housing crisis.

Want to stay updated on Cedar? You can learn more about the business on LinkedIn and Twitter @cedarbuild

To keep in touch with the founders, follow Kyle, Rahul, and Nate directly on LinkedIn.

If you're ready to build your next company in Antler's studios like the Cedar team did, our next residency launches April 2024. Drop into an upcoming AMA to learn more or check us out at antler.co
