Built by people who've done this before.
Antlar was founded by Scott Willson and Pete Rose, who first worked together at Forbury, a commercial property platform they helped grow over a decade across Australia and New Zealand.
That experience is the foundation Antlar is built on. Building software for a complex, compliance-heavy industry. Earning the trust of teams who cannot afford to get things wrong. Learning what it actually takes to make software that people rely on every day.
The strata industry shows us patterns we recognise. Important obligations spread across too many systems. Teams spending time on the wrong things. The people responsible for outcomes lacking the visibility to stay on top of them. We have spent our careers solving exactly this kind of problem, and Antlar is what we wish had existed.
The team
Scott Willson
Founder and Chief Executive Officer
Scott is a property technology operator with thirteen years of frontline experience building, scaling and exiting software businesses. He was the first employee of Forbury, a commercial property valuation platform, joining in 2013 and ultimately leading the company through to international acquisition by Altus Group, one of North America's leading commercial property intelligence firms, in 2023.
At Forbury, Scott was directly responsible for the commercial trajectory of the business across Australia, the Asia Pacific region and Europe, including the establishment and scaling of the Australian operation, customer success and product strategy across hundreds of enterprise customers, and the integration into Altus Group post acquisition. His relationships across the global property technology acquirer community are direct and active.
Since founding Antlar, Scott has personally driven product discovery, partner acquisition, regulatory engagement and capital strategy. He has established Antlar's regulatory and privacy framework, built relationships with industry leaders, and led the technical product direction including the platform's AI architecture and trust accounting design.
Scott is based in Christchurch, New Zealand, and travels regularly to Sydney for industry engagement.
Pete Rose
Executive Director
Pete is one of New Zealand's most experienced software operators, with two completed exits to his name and CFO-level financial rigour brought to every decision.
Pete was an early shareholder and director of Flow Software from 2006, growing the company over two decades from a single employee into a multi country industrial data platform with a successful exit to Exa Capital in 2026. He led the financial discipline that took the business from bootstrapped origin to acquisition, a model he is now bringing to Antlar.
Pete was also a founding director of Forbury alongside Scott, leading the company's United Kingdom and European market entry and expansion, including a complete product rebuild for the UK market and the establishment of a London operating base. He has direct experience taking an Australasian property technology business into the European market and integrating with international acquirers.
At Antlar, Pete is responsible for financial governance, investor relations and the corporate development pathway. He chairs the management team's commercial and financial cadence and is the principal architect of the capital plan.
Antlar's team also includes a CTO, CFO, and two product managers. We'll be adding their profiles here shortly.
