Antler invests $3.75m in seven AI startups under SG program

The four-week, in-person residency targets AI ventures with market-ready products and live customers.

Antler has channelled $3.75m into seven artificial intelligence startups through its newly launched AI Disrupt program in Singapore, part of a broader $9.92m early-stage funding push across Southeast Asia in the first half of 2025.

The four-week, in-person residency targets AI ventures with market-ready products and live customers, offering them accelerated go-to-market support and technical scaling.

Each participating startup secured $536,000 in funding and over $871,000 in cloud, infrastructure, and tooling credits specifically designed for AI development.

The inaugural AI Disrupt cohort includes Iris, which builds no-code autonomous agents for workflow automation and data collection; Nugen, developing domain-aligned AI for specialized agent workflows; IndustrialMind.ai, which optimizes manufacturing operations.

In addition, Lambdai Space, offering radar imaging AI for climate and insurance insights; Anamaya AI, a corporate travel aggregation platform; AppSecAI, automating application security; and 5.Y (GLUCOSE), focused on autonomous engagement and personalization in complex industries.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
