Antler Australia, the two-year-old Sydney-based startup accelerator and investor, which is expanding into Melbourne, has hired Sam Hilditch, the former Airbnb GM and strategy lead for Airwallex to lead its Victorian operations.
As Head of Melbourne, Hilditch has been charged with building the firm’s local presence and leading future cohorts to successful investment outcomes.
With operations in the Victorian capital officially launching next month, Antler is opening a local HQ at the new CreativeCubes.Co space in Carlton and its fifth cohort will be based out of there.
Antler Australia Managing Partner Bede Moore said Melbourne is a huge opportunity.
