Tyler Norwood brings an unusually hands-on operational background to seed investing, having led marketplace rollouts across 10+ countries in Southeast Asia and helped drive major e-commerce acquisitions and IPOs before joining Antler as one of its first employees. He focuses on demystifying the earliest stages of company building through his Early Days podcast and emphasizes "counter-cultural" entrepreneurship in ambitious physical-world sectors like energy and space, drawing from his identity as an endurance athlete who views startups as marathons rather than sprints.
