The funding round was led by 5I Ventures.

Singapore startup Kyberlife has raised $3.9m (US$3m) in its latest investment round led by 5I Ventures, with participation from East Ventures, A2D Ventures, and NUS Alumni Ventures (NAV).

The capital will be used for expansion into Indonesia, broadening its network of suppliers and customers across Southeast Asian markets — including Singapore, Indonesia, and Thailand — and investing in emerging technologies.

Kyberlife is an online marketplace that connects research and healthcare suppliers worldwide with laboratories, healthcare institutions, and research centers in Southeast Asia.

The platform features 1.2 million products from 160 brands, offering a wide range of items, including laboratory equipment and life-science instruments.

Some of its partner suppliers include Merck, ZymoResearch, DKSH, Eppendorf, and Sartorius, which supply brands serving major customers such as the National University Singapore, Duke-NUS, Nanyang Technological University, and the National Cancer Centre of Singapore.

“We believe in Kyberlife’s ability to redefine how healthcare institutions, government agencies, and laboratories access critical supplies. Their platform’s potential to scale and drive innovation in an industry that impacts millions of lives aligns perfectly with our mission to support transformative startups,” Ankit Upadhyay, general partner of A2D Ventures said.
