Antler injects funds into first cohort of 13 startups

Startup generator Antler has unveiled its first cohort. The 13 startups have worked with the Singapore-based early-stage VC firm for five months, which culminated in a demo day held on January 9.

All of the startups – engaged in industries like real estate, e-sports, robotics, and ecommerce – have received US$100,000 each from Antler. Here’s more about the startups (in alphabetical order):

All Woman Co.

All Woman Co. is an inclusive brand that sells plus-sized women’s swimwear. It aims to make better-fitting swimwear through personalization and data by allowing customers to send in their measurements prior to manufacturing. So far, it has over 2,500 people on its waiting list and has taken 1,200 user measurements.

The company earns roughly US$100 per swimsuit, but only ships to Australia at the moment.

The startup’s future plans include offering a blend of private and white-label products and expanding to activewear.

AutoSahulat

AutoSahulat is an online vehicle repair marketplace based in Pakistan. Through the company’s app and website, customers can book different vehicle repair services like tow services, tire work, and mechanical and electrical repairs from different service providers. They can also find the nearest services, contact them for roadside assistance, or rate them.

Customers can subscribe to the platform starting from US$1.50 to US$10 a month, depending on the services they want to avail of.

The company plans to expand to six cities in Pakistan.

Cognicept

Cognicept is a tele-operator service that resolves errors in robotic systems. It uses telerobotic networking technology and taps human remote operators to handle errors, making robots more reliable.

“Our software sits on the robot and listens for error alerts,” explains Michael Sayre, the CEO and co-founder of Cognicept. “When they arise, it dials into one of our human operators who can see what the robot sees and can control it remotely through an internet connection.”

Customers can avail of the service for US$200 a month, excluding premium add-ons.

The startup plans on having a “phased launch” in Asia and then globally.
