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.

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
